Information concerning connector as-
signment can be found in the “Techni-
cal data” section.
The cable length should not exceed
300 m (980 ft .). The capacitance of
greater cable lengths could aff ect the
frequency response.
When connecting the cables, ensure
that the connectors are locked correct-
ly. Run the cables in such a way that
there is no risk of tripping over them.
Address the microphone from the side
on which the Neumann logo is located.
Gradually increase the volume of the
connected equipment
Set the gain of the connected equip-
ment so that no distortion occurs at
the highest sound pressure level.
Suppressing noise interference
The capsule is elastically mounted to
suppress structure-borne noise. The
amplifi er of the U 47 fet can also trans-
mit very low frequent signals without
any coloration. In the case of distur-
bances such as vibration, wind or pop
noises, the use of the high-pass fi lter,
a windshield or a pop shield is recom-
mended.
Setting the high-pass fi lter
The high-pass fi lter is activated by
means of a switch on the back of the
microphone. It can be used to sup-
press low-frequency interference (e.g.
caused by impact sound or wind noise)
and to compensate for the proximity
eff ect.
Sound test
Simply speak into the microphone. Do
not blow into the microphone or sub-
ject it to pop noise, since this can eas-
ily produce very high sound pressure
levels.
6. Shutdown and Storage
Before switching off the microphone or
disconnecting the cables, reduce the
volume of connected equipment.
Only then should the phantom power
be switched off .
Disconnect the cables.
When disconnecting a cable, always
pull only on the connector and not on
the cable itself.
Microphones which are not in use
should not be allowed to remain on the
stand gathering dust. A microphone
which is unused for a prolonged pe-
riod should be stored under normal at-
mospheric conditions, and should be
protected from dust. For this purpose,
use a lint-free, air-permeable dust
cover or the original packaging of the
microphone.
