Operating the DynaMic58
Setting up the signal level
When connecting the DynaMic58 to a mixer or recorder input, be sure that the
input is at a suitable level. Most mixers and recorders of reasonable quality
will offer a microphone input with MIC trim (usually called Trim or Gain)
control. The purpose of the MIC trim control is to optimize the amount of good
signal to any noise associated with the mixers electronics. A good MIC
preamplifier with trim also will have a Peak or Clip LED. To set a good level
on the DynaMic58, set it up in front of the desired sound source (i.e. a
presenter talking) and slowly raise the MIC trim control until you see the
Peak LED light up. Then, turn the mix trim control down until the LED does not
light any more. On most mixers, the ideal setting is that the trim control is
turned up as much as possible without lighting the Peak LED.
Microphone Placement
In order to maximize the sound quality, please pay careful attention to the
placement of your DynaMic58 and how it is positioned. All microphones,
especially cardioids, exhibit a phenomenon known as the “proximity effect”.
Very simply put, proximity effect is a resulting change in the frequency
response of a microphone based on the position of the MIC capsule relative to
the sound source. Specifically, when you point a cardioid MIC directly at the
sound source (on-axis) you will get the best frequency response, however, when
you start pointing the microphone slightly away (off-axis) you will notice the
low frequency dropping off and the microphone will start to sound thinner.
For most vocal applications you’ll want to position the microphone directly in front of the presenter. If you find that the voice produces an overly ‘bassy’ effect, try EQing a ‘low cut’ on your mixer, (or applying a high pass filter – HPF) and re-positioning the mic (experimentation is the best teacher, here).
Connecting the DynaMic58
The DynaMic58 has an XLR connection which provides a balanced output. Unlike
condenser mics, you will not need to use ‘phantom power’ if you are connecting
using an ‘XLR to XLR’ cable. Simply plug straight in to your device and the
microphone will work.
You will need a standard 3-pin XLR cable, as well as an audio-interface like the iCON Duo 44 which will act as the ‘connector’ to your computer for recording, if you wish to use the microphone in a project studio setting. You can then use the microphone to record to a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Cubase, Harrison Mixbus 32C or Pro Tools.
Equally, you can use a device such as iCON Pro Audio’s ‘Live Console’, specifically designed for live streaming. Find out more here; https://iconproaudio.com/product/live-console/
The DynaMic58 will be at home in any live setting – just make sure you follow the advice of connecting the DynaMic58 with volume/gain settings down to start with, so you can gradually increase the volume/gain to a comfortable and appropriate level, when setting up.
And now….the audience is in, the lights are up! You’re on!
