Mounting and Operation
To get the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to the sound source oreven move the
microphone around in the recording room of your studio. Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound
source can also be helpful. Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you start to use
equalizers and signal processors,if any at all (remember: less is often more!). Due to the extremely linear
frequency response and the high sonic resolution of your microphone, there is no need for high-frequency
“EQing” that can heavily influence the signal and unnecessarily increase the noise level. The microphone
provides that much-desired transparency which often gets lost during recording and mixing.
There is an adapter on your microphone that lets you mount it on mic stands with either metric (Europe) or
imperial-gauge threads (North America).
First dismantle the microphone from the stand mount adapter by detaching the fine-thread shoulder screw
at the bottom end of the microphone. Fasten the adapter onto the microphone stand, place the microphone
into it and tighten the screw again. Basically, the microphone in the stand mount adapter should stand
upright and face the sound source at a right angle.
The angle of the microphone to the sound source influences the sound of the recording; therefore, experi
-
ment with different positions until you achieve the desired sound. To this end, you can rotate the mic in the
stand mount adapter by loosening the screw somewhat and tightening it again. If necessary, you can bend
the microphone out of its vertical position by using the hinge on the microphone stand.
NOTE: Please make sure to handle the microphone shaft with attention and care to avoid damaging the
screw thread. In no situation should you ever apply excessive force.
Of course, you can detach the microphone from the stand mount adapter and attach it to a commercially
available suspension mount.
Make sure to speak/sing into the front side (see logo print) of the microphone for the best sound:
