Quick Start Guide/Sequence of Operation
1. Securely attach the microphone shock mount to a high-quality microphone stand and
tighten the wing nut at the shock mount elbow.
2. Carefully thread the FC-357 into the shock mount.
Tip:
Rotating the microphone in the opposite direction of the bottom nut will assist with
threading it into the shock mount.
3. Make sure the phantom power and gain on your recording interface are
turned off
before connecting the microphone.
4. Securely connect the female end of a high-quality standard 3-pin XLR microphone cable
to the bottom of the FC-357 microphone and the male end to your recording interface or
microphone preamp.
5. Choose your desired pad and polar pattern selections on each side of the FC-357
microphone.
6. Turn on the +48 volt phantom power on the recording interface channel you have
connected the microphone to and allow the microphone to warm up for several minutes.
7. If you are using the microphone for vocals or voice, please ensure you use a high-quality
pop-filter.
8. Gradually increase the input gain on your recording interface or preamp to test and
achieve your desired microphone input levels.
9. Congratulations, you are ready to begin using your FC-357 microphone.
