Low-Cut Switch
The Low-Cut Switch is located on the front-right side of the microphone,
and inserts a low-cut filter at 80Hz (left position) or 160Hz (right
position). The switch’s cen ter position removes the filter for a flat
frequency response. Wind noise, plosives, footfall noise or rumble might
affect the recorded signal, so enabling the low-cut filters reduces such
unwanted noise and prevents distortion. Additionally, the low-cut filters
also minimize the proximity effect when recording sound sources at a
very short distance.
Pattern Switch
The 3-position Pattern Switch is located on the rear side of the
microphone, and allows the sE2300’s polar pattern to be changed from
omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-eight. This allows for great control
over the balance between direct and ambient sound.
Powering
To ensure proper operation, the microphone requires a phantom power source providing 48 Volts
according to IEC 61938.
Risk of damage
Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other than a phantom
power source (input with phantom power or external IEC standard phantom
power supply) with a floating connector, using a balanced cable with studio
grade connectors to IEC 268-12 only. This is the only way to ensure safe
and reliable operation.
Safety and maintenance
Risk of damage
Please make sure that the piece of equipment to which your microphone
will be connected fulfils the safety regulations enforced in your country and
is fitted with a ground lead.
Cleaning the microphone
After every use, clean the microphone with a dry, soft cloth tissue and store it in a solid case or a
zipper pouch.
