DYNAMITE I/O Switch
When the DYNAMITE I/O Switch [middle] is in the “on” position, the
DynaCaster’s internal DYNAMITE preamp provides 30 dB of additional gain,
ideal for speech and softer sources. This requires Phantom power.
In the “off” position, the DynaCaster functions as a completely passive
microphone, not requiring any external or Phantom power.
Low Frequency Trim
The microphone’s Low Frequency Trim [left] switch gives you three
different options for it low-end character. The center position is flat, or unaffected. The downward
position attenuates the lows to reduce boominess, also known as the proximity effect. In the upward
position, the lows are slightly boosted, giving the microphone’s sound some extra richness. This can be
helpful when speaking from a farther distance, or miking an instrument that sounds a bit thin.
High Frequency Trim
The microphone’s High Frequency Trim [right] switch gives you three different options for its presence
character. The downward position is flat, or unaffected. The center position creates a slight high-
frequency boost to add clarity, and help your voice cut through a busy background. The fully upward
position boosts the highs through the presence range, helping to correct for rooms where acoustic
treatment has absorbed too much treble.
The Three-Layer Pop Filter
Broadcast microphones are a staple of social media channels that are distributed as video, in addition to
audio. One of the issues we tried to address in designing the DynaCaster is the visual disruption of external
windscreens and pop filters. To keep your video looking clean, the DynaCaster has an internal three-layer
pop filter. This concept has been extensively tested to stand up to plosives, without the need for any external
protection.
The three-layer pop filter and microphone grille can be
easily removed and cleaned as needed. Simply turn the
speaking surface of the microphone counter-clockwise to
remove it. From there, the pop filter will easily lift out. Use
a soft cloth, moistened with water only. Do not use any
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids. Once clean,
reassemble the mic and turn the speaking surface
clockwise until tight. You’re ready to go!
