This alternative position proved to be
extremely good.
Please note that the foam windscreen sits snug
on the guitar-top with some pressure from the
gooseneck that holds it down. This is a very
quiet positioning that minimizes unwanted
handling noise. We also found the soundquality
superb for recording. You can move the mic
closer to the soundhole or away from it to
control the amount of bass.
To cut down on cable handling noise and for
extra strain relief please wrap the cable under
the clamp as shown here.
TIP:
We sell the clamp individually.
For a quick change from one instrument to another leave
the clamp on the guitar and buy another clamp or your second instrument. You can easily
remove/snap-on the microphone itself with the little clip on the clamp.
The Meridian PRO Preamp
is handcrafted at the K&K facility in Oregon/USA to extremely low noise specifications with
excellent clarity and warm EQ. It is optimized for the use with the Meridian Microphone.
Plug the mic in the INPUT and connect the LINE or XLR OUTPUT (or both) to an amp or PA system.
The
Meridian Pro Preamp
operates on industry standard Phantom Power or one 9 volt battery.
We recommend to have a 9 volt battery installed in the unit at all times. Phantom Power drops
down considerably under load. If several phantom power consumers are connected to a mixing
board, the power may drop down below a sufficient supply voltage for the
Meridian Pro Preamp
.
The battery will be activated only in case the phantom power gets too low but it will not be
discharged as long as Phantom Power is higher that the battery voltage.
