ON-BOARD MICROPHONE CONTROLS
PRE AMPLIFIER
The dedicated on-board REDD.47 Mic
Amplifier (pre-amplifier) circuit provides
the ability to use the REDD Microphone
with or without the need for an external
pre-amp. The preamplifier and most of its
available features are adjustable directly
from the microphone body.
GAIN
The on-board microphone pre-amplifier
gain setting is adjustable at the rear
of the microphone. There’s nine gain
settings to chose from, including:
+4,8,12,16,24,27,30,33db. The resultant
effective gain is also dependent upon the
‘NORM’ vs ‘DRIVE’ mode setting; selection
of either ‘NORM’ or ‘DRIVE’ mode is
available via toggle switch from the front
of the microphone body, and have a tonal
effect on the microphone signal.
NORM
When the toggle switch is set to ‘NORM,’
the REDD Microphone pre-amplifier is
considered in its normal operational
condition. The sound characteristic in this
state, is more organic or natural, or laid-
back in comparison to ‘DRIVE’.
DRIVE
The ‘DRIVE’ setting has an overall effect
over the adjustable gain range, both in
terms of structure and more importantly,
harmonic content. It is similar to the
‘FINE GAIN’ on the REDD.47 Mic Amplifier
rack-mount counterpart, however, set fully
on and non-variable.
When set to the ‘DRIVE’ position, the
tonal effect on the microphone signal
is identifiable, characterized as being
more immediate, punchy and present. The
resultant tonal change is also interactive
and dependent upon the gain setting.
Depending upon the sound incident level
and gain setting, ‘DRIVE’ mode, if driven
hard enough, can impart wonderful harmonic
coloration and tube saturation with a
little characteristic ‘hair’ on a signal.
