Troubleshooting
I cannot hear anything!
//
Check if phantom power (P48) is switched on . A condenser microphone always
needs to be supplied with 48V phantom power to work .
//
Check your whole signal chain one by one and check if all connected equipment
is supplied with sufficient electrical power.
//
Check if your audio interface, mic-preamp, or other subsequent equipment
receives an input signal .
//
Check if all cables are well connected and functional .
My signal sounds distorted, what can I do?
//
Check and adjust input gain on your audio interface, mic-preamp, or other
subsequent equipment – always make sure you leave sufficient headroom.
//
Plosives sounds during vocal recordings can overload the capsule – use a pop
filter and/or keep a greater distance between source and microphone.
//
Structure-borne noise – use a shock mount .
My recording sounds muffled!
//
Make sure the Lewitt logo is facing the sound source during recording .
//
To record with full sensitivity do not cover any part of the wire mesh .
