Quick Start Guide/Sequence of Operation
1.
Attach the chosen mount to a high-quality microphone stand. Loosen the adjustment nut, or
handle, depending on the mount chosen, and adjust for proper pickup position.
Note: The microphone picks up sound from the silver grill (or the logo side), this is the “front”
of the microphone.
2.
Make sure +48v phantom power is turned off, and the gain on the preamplifier channel is
turned down.
3.
Securely connect the female end of a high-quality standard 3-pin XLR microphone cable to the
male connector on the microphone, and then the male end of the XLR cable to your recording
interface or microphone preamp.
4.
After securely connecting the cables, turn on the +48v phantom power and allow the
microphone to warm up for a several minutes.
5.
If you are using the microphone for vocals, voice, or in a windy environment, please ensure you
use a high-quality pop-filter or the included foam windscreen.
6.
Gradually increase the input gain on your recording interface or preamp to test and achieve
your desired microphone input levels.
