Adjusting the MP 101 D
Adjustment options for the MP 101 D are located on its rear panel (see
). Therefore, you must perform these adjustments before mounting into a wall.
To adjust the MP 101 D, do the following:
1.
If using a condenser microphone, set the Phantom power switch to the
ON
position.
If using a dynamic microphone, set the Phantom power switch to the
OFF
position.
2.
When using the microphone for voice audio, flip the
Low Cut
switch to
ON
to reduce
wind and “table rumble” noise.
When using the microphone for music audio, set the
Low Cut
switch to
OFF
to
preserve the optimum sound quality.
