To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively. Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off.
Installation and starting up XLR connection for signal output A balanced XLR mounting plug is used for signal output. Drawing and table indicate the XLR pin assignment. 1 Ground, shielding 2 Signal (+) 3 Signal (–) Polar pattern The ‘Figure-8’ characteristics of this microphone can be used, e.g., to record two singers simul‐ taneously. It often sounds better than two separate microphones in the same room.
Installation and starting up In horizontal direction the microphone does not differentiate too much between different sound sources. Therefore, multiple instruments or singers can be arranged in front of the microphone, without overemphasizing the middle position. Tips on handling and posi‐ tioning Like all ribbon microphones, the construction design makes this unit more sensitive to shock and to direct blowing in than other types of microphones.
