This alternative position proved to be
extremely good.
Please note that the foam windscreen sits snug
on the guitar-top with some pressure from the
gooseneck that holds it down. This is a very
quiet positioning that minimizes unwanted
handling noise. We also found the soundquality
superb for recording. You can move the mic
closer to the soundhole or away from it to
control the amount of bass.
To cut down on cable handling noise and for
extra strain relief please wrap the cable under
the clamp as shown here.
TIP:
We sell the clamp individually.
For a quick change from one instrument to another leave
the clamp on the guitar and buy another clamp or your second instrument. You can easily
remove/snap-on the microphone itself with the little clip on the clamp.
Your
Meridian Preamp
comes factory-preset with the Mid-Frequency-Control-System fully
activated, which means the midrange is cut by 16dB. We find this setting to sound very elegant
and “studio-like”. You can adjust this control with a small precision screwdriver. Turn it clockwise to
increase midrange.
Connect the Meridian Mic to the Mic In and use an XLR microphone cable to connect the preamp’s
OUT to an XLR input of a PA or amp. The preamp works on phantom power via the XLR output, or
with a suitable 12 volt DC power supply (100mA, DC connector center plus).
