I cannot hear anything!
// Check if phantom power (P48) is switched on. A condenser microphone always
needs to be supplied with 48V phantom power to work.
// Check your whole signal chain one by one and check if all connected equipment
is supplied with sufcient electrical power.
// Check if your audio interface, mic-preamp, or other subsequent equipment
receives an input signal.
// Check if all cables are well connected and functional.
My signal sounds distorted, what can I do?
// Check and adjust input gain on your audio interface, mic-preamp, or other
subsequent equipment – always make sure you leave sufcient headroom.
// Plosives sounds during vocal recordings can overload the capsule – use the
supplied pop lter and/or keep a greater distance between source and microphone.
// Structure-borne noise use a tting shock mount (preferably the supplied
accessory).
My recording sounds mufed!
// Make sure the Lewitt logo is facing the sound source during recording.
// To record with full sensitivity do not cover any part of the wire mesh.
