H A Surfur Professional Cardioid Condenser
_ **Microphone User Guide**_
Getting Started
The H&A Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a natural in the audio reproduction world. The cardioid pickup pattern ‘hears’ sounds produced in front and rejects side and back noises. Follow these instructions for enjoying the best of aural euphoria.
- Attach the microphone onto the included shock mount stand adapter. Press the levers of the shock mount together and place the mic firmly within its grasp. Release the levers.
Fasten the adapter onto a 5/8″ threaded microphone stand.- Use an XLR microphone cable to connect you mic to the recording device or mixer. Gold plated connectors complement the Surfur finely crafted gold-plated engineering.
- The H&A Pro Cardioid Condenser Mic powers through phantom power, 9V – 52V, derived from the host device. Mute the sound source system before attaching phantom power.
- The microphone should turn to face the sound source at a right angle. The angle of the mic is essential. Do a sound check at various positions until you realize the optimal sound input. If you desire to ‘float’ your mic, detach the mic from the stand adapter and connect it to a suspension mount.
- Adjust the gain control of the mic channel of your input console so that the peak LEDs light occasionally. Always start your tests with middle EQ settings. The Surfur delivers audio transparency and purity. Conduct the position of the micas described above before using equalizers, signal processors, or enhancers. Remember, the cleaner
you record, the more flexible the track will be for applying EQ and SFX.
Enjoy the best audio capture from delicate vocals, brash instrumentals, to complex musical compositions with this H&A Pro Cardioid Condenser Microphone recording aficionado vision come true.
