3. How to Use your MXD5
Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your
off (please see frequency response chart on next page).
be set to mid-travel position to start with ; low-cut filter and
level attenuator should be turned off. Try to achieve the desired
mixing console so that the peak LED lights up only occasionally
or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should
sound by experimenting with the microphone position. Place the
microphone as close to the sound source as possible. The closer
your mic gets to the sound source, the greater the bass response
will be. On the other hand, as you move the sound source further
away from the microphone, the bass response w
ill gradually roll
Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you
start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any at all.
(Remember: less is often more!)
All microphones have characteristic polar patterns that determine
how well signals from around the area of the microphone are
accepted or rejected.
The super cardioid pattern is used by the MXD5.
Thus, the MXD5 excels in environments where a lot of
undesired ambient noise exists. The MXD5 excellently
reproduces those sound signals origina
ted directly in front of
the microphone while rejecting or minimizing sound signals
originated in the area behind the microphone (please refer to the
polar pattern on next page for detailed information).
