PSU FRONT PANEL
MIC INPUT
The top receptacle is a 7-pin female
jack. Plug the supplied 25’ (762cm) 7-pin
microphone cable here, and attach the
female end of the cable to the microphone
base connector.
LINE OUTPUT
The bottom receptacle is a standard 3-pin
male XLR jack. This output jack supplies
analog line level signal to your audio
interface converter, tape machine, or
other external audio processor; the source
(output) impedance is 200 ohms.
OUTPUT CONTROL
The ‘OUTPUT’ control is continuous, acting
as a fader would on a console, and is used
to reduce the overall output of the REDD
Microphone; this control is functionally
the same as the one found on the REDD.47 Mic
Amplifier rack-mount unit.
In most applications, attenuating the
output of the microphone signal maybe
unnecessary and should be left fully
clockwise at unity or ‘0’. However, if
reduction of the overall output signal
is required, simply rotate the ‘OUTPUT’
control counterclockwise until the level
desired level is achieved.
TIP- On drums room application, if a
driven sound with tube saturation is the
goal, turn up the gain, engage ‘DRIVE’ and
turn down the ‘OUTPUT’ to not clip your
converter’s input.
The ‘OUTPUT’ control is operational
regardless of the ‘PULL FOR LOW CONTOUR’
feature being actuated or not.
LOW-CONTOUR
The ‘LOW-CONTOUR’ function is an alternate
voicing of the REDD Microphone, it features
a tighter sound with top-emphasis and is an
excellent choice for many sources.
‘LOW-CONTOUR’ is available from the power
supply (PSU,) to actuate the ‘LOW-CONTOUR’
voicing, simply pull the ‘OUTPUT’ control
potentiometer outward; the ‘OUTPUT’ control
is still fully operational.
TIP- In recording scenarios and
environments, where a more top-emphasized
sound and a tailored low-end may be
desired, the ‘LOW-CONTOUR’ voicing is well
suited for this purpose.
