USING A SHORTER MICROPHONE (OMNI OR CARDIOID)
FACING THE DISH:
1.
Please take out the black (removable) foam from the basket.
2.
Allocate the sliced cable lane of the foam and place your cable (NOT MIC)
thru the cable lane of the foam. We recommend a angled low profile cable as
photo. After placing the cable in the foam cable lane - INSERT THE FOAM with
cable AGAIN. Adjust cable length as above photo by pulling cable.
3.
If possible, place the cable also thru the cable lane of the
BLACK
(REMOVABLE) NEOPRENE CABLE HOLDER found in the GRAY TUBE.
Secure
with handle knob.

. Adjust cable length so its not too long inside the basket (causing handling
noise) or too short coming out of the dish to attach to your recorder. After
cable length is adjusted please find a suitable microphone or sensor (omni or
cardioid) shorter length that you wish to use.
5. Attaching your microphone
: connect your cable to microphone with its
capsule placed inside the center hole of the foam facing dish. On top of the
basket you can find a silver sticker
focus indicator
. Place your microphone
capsule close to the focus indicator inside the center hole of the foam. It is not
critical where your microphone is placed as long as its capsule is close (+/- 10
mm) to the focus, you can experiment until you find a “sound” you prefer.
AFTER INSERTING YOUR MIC LET THE FOAM ADJUST TO THE SIZE OF THE MIC
aprx 5-10 seconds.
That also applies if changing microphone position.
