Setting Up the MXGN Gooseneck Microphone Each application of the MXGN Microphone will be slightly different. The following scenarios cover frequently used setups. Live Lecture/Sound Reinforcement Mixing console This is ideal in an auditorium or house of worship where a voice needs to be amplified for an audience. Power amplifier LOCK MUTE TALK Phantom power supply Note: MXGN microphones need phantom power in order . to operate.
Powering the MXGN Microphone The MXGN microphones operate on phantom power. Once connected to the power source, the MXGN mic is ready to work. Important! When integrating the MXGN microphone into a video or audio conferencing system, or using it with a mixing board, make sure that phantom power is enabled. Optional Mic Capsules The MXGN-12 and MXGN-18 include a cardioid mic capsule. Omnidirectional (MXGN-ICO) and supercardioid (MXGN-ICS) capsules are available separately.
Supercardioid Polar Pattern The supercardioid capsule has a slightly narrower pickup field and rejects more offaxis noise than the cardioid capsule. This capsule is an excellent choice for a stationary lecturer at a podium or for speaking in high-noise environments. It can be used in a multimicrophone setup, providing that it’s pointed directly at the person using it.
