Positioning the SC-550X
The SC-550X’s cardioid polar pattern will capture sound mostly from in front of the
microphone� You will usually want the front of the microphone (the side with the
Senal logo) to face your sound source, although it is important to experiment with
microphone placement and positioning to find the best solution for your specific
needs�
You can adjust the vertical angle of the microphone by loosening the locking knob
on the shock mount� When the desired angle is set, make sure to fully tighten the
locking knob�

from aspirated plosives like p and b sounds and to keep corrosive moisture away
from the capsule�
To mount the included pop-filter, follow these steps:

� Mount the pop filter onto the rim of the shock mount at the
