1. Input Trim
The inputs can be level trimmed by +/- 10dB in 1dB steps.
To change the input trim press the “Trim” button - this will change the display to show the trim level
in the middle of the screen – and use the rotary controller to alter the level.
To return back to the main screen either press the “Trim” button again or wait for the gain screen to
automatically time out.
2. End Fir e
The End Fire mode should be selected when the microphone is horizontally pointed ( ) at the
sound source as you would with a flashlight. Selecting End Fire maintains the correct three-
dimensional perspective in both surround and stereo when the mic is used in the horizontal
position.
If you do not select this mode when the microphone is horizontal it will result in the Front/Back
depth information and the Up/Down height information being reversed. This mode is particularly
necessary when the microphone is mounted in a Rycote or on a fishpole and pointed directly at the
sound source.
To enable End Fire press the “End Fire” button - this will change the display to show the End Fire
status in the middle of the screen – further presses of the “End Fire” button will toggle the status
of End Fire on and off.
To return back to the main screen either press the “End Fir e ” button again or wait for the gain screen
to automatically time out.
