• An ideal reference is to begin with the pop shield
directly in front of the vocalist, and approximately
15cm (6”) away from the microphone. This will assist
in keeping the performer at a constant minimum
distance from the microphone and helps to
maintain reasonable recording levels.
• Experimentation should be made with the angle
from which the microphone is addressed, as
different results can be achieved when the vocalist
is ‘off-axis’ to the microphone (and the gold dot).
• If an earth loop is present (a mains frequency hum)
there is a ground lift switch on the rear panel of
the power supply, which should be raised to the
‘lift’ position. This earth loop can appear when two
devices which are both earthed are connected
together.
