A/B Comparison/Proximity

Note: If we don’t have a model of your mic and you really, really

want to use it as a source mic, you might consider giving us a

call and seeing if we’re interested in modeling it. If so, you’d

have to be willing to send it to us and have it out of your

possession for about 5 working days.

A/B Comparison

Pressing the Microphone button a third time will move the cursor

from the Microphone Name field to the A/B Compare field. This

function is used to instantaneously compare the effects of two

different Source Mic selections.

Begin by turning the Data Knob until “A” appears in the field (if it

doesn’t already). Now move the cursor to the Manufacturer or

Microphone Name field as desired and select the first mic to com-

pare. Move the cursor back to the A/B Compare field and turn the

Data Knob to display “B” and then once again move the cursor to

select the second mic you wish to compare. Finally, move the cursor

back to the Compare field and turn the Data Knob to switch back

and forth between the two mics while listening to your audio.

Note: The A/B Compare function switches not only the selected

mics, but their associated Proximity, Low Cut, and Pattern

settings as well. To take advantage of this, select the “A” mic

and set the Proximity, Low Cut, and Pattern as described below.

Then return to the Microphone Selection screen and use the

Compare field to select the “B” mic and then set its Proximity,

Low Cut, and Pattern. Finally, return to the Microphone Selec-

tion screen again, move the cursor back to the Compare field

and turn the Data Knob to switch back and forth between the

two mics (and their respective settings) while listening to your

audio.

Proximity

Pressing the Proximity button while in Source Mic Edit mode will

display something like this:

Source Proximity

6.50 inches

and allow you to use the Data Knob to set the average distance that

separated the the mic and the signal source during the recording of

the audio.
