STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-3 User Manual 1. Power Supply Your condenser mic C-3 needs a phantom power supply (+48 V). If your C-3 is connected to a microphone preamp and supplied with phantom power, the LED on the microphone lights up. BEHRINGER assumes no liability for any damage caused by a defective phantom power supply. Always mute the sound reinforcement system before you switch on the phantom power supply. 2. Directivity Your C-3 is a large-diaphragm microphone featuring a double membrane.
STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-3 User Manual 3. Low Cut-Filter and Signal Level Attenuation The low cut filter is activated via the left switch located at the front of your C-3 (switch position: left, ). Disruptive, low-frequency sounds such as subsonic noise, snapping and wind sounds can be filtered out. When the low cut filter is active, when recording a voice from a close distance, you get an almost entirely linear frequency response.
STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-3 User Manual If necessary, you can bend the microphone out of its vertical position by using the hinge on the microphone stand. ◊ Please make sure to handle the microphone shaft with attention and care to avoid damaging the screw thread. In no situation should you ever apply excessive force. Of course, you can detach the C-3 from the stand mount adapter and attach it to a commercially available suspension mount. 5.
