The RMP-XLR microphone connects via a 3-pin balanced XLR connector.
The closer you are to the microphone, the deeper and richer your voice will sound.
When your mouth is two inches or less from the microphone there is a significant
increase to low frequencies giving your voice a bass heavy sound. This is known
as the proximity effect.
Singing directly into the microphone will pick-up on your breathing as well as
overemphasize certain sounds when speaking or singing. To achieve a well bal-
anced sound, sing or talk to one side of or above and across the microphone’s
top. This will give your voice a well-balanced, natural sound.
Feedback means that the sound from a speaker is picked up by the microphone,
sent back to the amplifier and then out through the speakers. At certain volume
levels the system will make undesired noises. In order to increase gain before
feedback, this microphone has a supercardioid pattern. This means that its sen-
sitivity to sound is at its highest when the sound comes from the front of the mi-
crophone (facing you). This also minimizes pick-up of sounds from the sides or rear.
This microphone can be used for balanced and unbalanced applications. For bal-
anced XLR connections use an XLR cable. For unbalanced connections use a 1/4
˝
TS jack plug to a female XLR cable. Be aware that when using a run longer than
16ft you may encounter humming caused by stray magnetic fields from power
cables, lighting cables, and other electric appliances.
