Thank you for selecting the H&A sonic solution. The HEA UMP-5 Professional USB Multi-Pattern Microphone is an inventive quint-capsule USB microphone capable of five distinct polar patterns, offering recording possibilities that usually require multiple specialty microphones. Stereo, cardio id, super-cardio id, unidirectional, and bidirectional {figure 8), you got them all in one sweet mic.
Five distinct Polar Patterns to select sonic experience: Stereo, Cardio id, Super-Cardio id, Unidirectional, and Bidirectional (figure 8) Vary mic gain directly with analog controls onboard Broadcast quality Super-Cardio id element rejects off-axis audio Generous 14mm Diaphragm Quint-Capsule provides unheard of dexterity Exceptionally clean and natural pick up of both Music and Speech 3.
No assembly is necessary! The microphone is ready for action right out of the box. Plug into your computer and Play, after your one-time computer setup described below.
Windows Use the included USB-C cable to plug the HUMP-5 into your computer using any USB A port. Once the connection is made, the power indicator beneath the grill will glow. The computer will automatically detect the HUMP-5 and load drivers from the internet, if necessary. Each version of Windows has differing procedures for designating the mic as the default audio capture device and configuration details.
After the selection, click on the Device Properties line above "Test your microphone" to enter more options for quality and defaults. Once in the Device Properties window, slide the Volume level bar to set the microphone level to 100% as a starting point. Once this is set, you can adjust the gain level with the gain control knob on the front of the microphone. Use the Start Test button to conduct a trial.
Windows 8, 7, Vista, and Windows XP A similar procedure for designating the mic as the default audio capture device and configuration details apply to Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and Windows XP. The later the operating system, the more robust the options. Basically, it is the same as the Windows 10 instructions, except for the Control Panel as the starting point and find the appropriate selection; the Hardware and Sound icon (Win 8, 7, Vista), Sounds and Audio Devices icon {Win Xp).
In the Win 8, 7, Vista, Microphone Properties window, select the Levels tab and set your microphone volume to 100%. Once this is set, you can adjust the gain level with the gain control knob on the front of the microphone. Click on the Advanced tab. Select a sample rate and a bit rate for your recording. Click OK to set your selections and exit the Control Panel. For Win XP, click on the Audio tab.
Mac 0S Setup Plug the HUMP-5 into your computer, using the supplied USB-C to USB-A cable. Once the connection is established, the power indicator beneath the grill of the microphone will glow. Open the System Preferences window and double-click on the Sound icon. Within the Sound preferences window, select the HUMP-5 microphone under the input and output tabs. Use the sliding volume level offered in the Input screen to set the input and output volumes to 100%.
Mounting on a Microphone Stand Remove the microphone from the desktop stand, unscrewing the two tightening knobs on either side of the mic body where the adjustable desktop stand is attached. The mic screws directly onto a microphone stand or a boom fish-pole with a standard 5/8" threaded post.
The H&A HUMP-5 in use. The spiffy microphone is packed with handy and helpful features to produce dream audio files or go live ‘on-the-air", Use the Gain Control Knob to adjust the HUMP-5's input gain. More significant gain is necessary when recording quiet subjects, limiting unwanted stray sound waves, and room tone. Lower gain is desirable for louder sources and attempting to pick up delicate remote sounds. Your requirements will depend upon your particular situation.
Pinpoint your Polar Pattern The polar-pattern selector on the back of the microphone allows you to select one of five patterns: Cardio id, Supercargoes, Bidirectional, Unidirectional, and Stereo. It's all about rejection control.
Unidirectional The Unidirectional polar pattern is sensitive to sound from all directions, or from a 360° radius from the mic position. It is unnecessary to point the microphone in any specific orientation, as Omanis captures sound from everywhere equally. This setting is terrific for picking up ambient sounds, such as large room acoustics, or voluminous sound sources such as an orchestra or choir.
Cardio id The Cardio id pattern is a heart-shaped microphone polar pattern that is focused unidirectional. This setting ideal for a live situation in which unwanted sound may come from behind the microphone, such as the monitors that may cause feedback. That pattern picks up sound from the front and the sides but is acoustically silent from the rear. Cardio id microphones produce intimate, untainted, and detailed direct sound transmission up close.
Supercargoes The Supercargoes pattern is an advanced selection in the focused unidirectional family. Supercargoes microphones cover a slightly narrower angle than standard cardio id while featuring even less sensitivity in the rear. It provides better ambient noise rejection than Cardio id, resisting feedback, and maintaining high directional from the front.
Bidirectional Figure of Eight Figure Eight, also known as Bi-directional microphone polar pattern, captures sound waves from the front and back at 0° and 180°. The sides are deadened, and microphones with this pattern are suitable for instrumentalists or vocalists facing each other that would ordinarily require two microphones.
17 Stereo Stereo recording is a technique involving the use of two microphone capsules to simultaneously record one sound source. The mono signal patterns from each capsule are assigned to the left and right channels of a stereo track to create a sense of width in the recording, and equal signals are transmitted on both channels. The stereo image is created because of overlapping and the time of arrival for each signal is slightly different.
