Function Descriptions
-
Gain Control: manually adjust the gain level as appropriate to your actual application.
1. DFlip to “+10d8′ : boost pickup sensitivity by 10dB, suitable for vocal pickup at a farther distance during live stream, recording, or performance.
2. Flip to “Odir: no boost or attenuation, suitable for pickup of sources with high sound pressure (e.g., rap, instrument) as it has higher withstanding ability. -
XLR Port: used to connect to an audio devices such as audio interface and mixing console via XLR cable.
Operation Instructions
- Using the XLR male-to-female cable, connect the mic to an audio device (e.g., audio interface, mixing console) with a built-in 48V phantom power supply, or use an external 48V power supply (not included) if none.
Note: The phantom power supply required for this product is DC 48 t4V/2.8mAt20%.
1. Connection method for an audio device with built-in 48V phantom power:
2. Connection method for an audio device without built-in 48V phantom power:
-
Hold the mic by hand, or install it on a stand. For stand installation, first fix the mic clamp onto the 5/8 standard-threaded connector on the stand, then secure the mic onto the clamp as shown below:
-
Please turn the volume to the minimum on the audio device (e.g., audio interface, mixing console) before switching on the phantom power. Then gradually increase the volume to an appropriate level. This helps to prevent the speakers from being damaged by high sound pressure. Keep a proper distance between the mic and the speakers to avoid feedback howling.
-
Please speak towards the top of the mic grille while recording. When mic sensitivity is at +10dB, recommended distance from the mic is 20-30cm; when at OdB, recommended distance is around 10cm, as shown below:
