SINGLE TRACK MONO RECORDING
For overdubbing on single tracks of a multi-track recorder or conventional mono recording.
*
Switch on the system and allow to warm up for at least five minutes.
*
Set the
Pattern
control midway (cardioid).
*
Set the
Width
control fully anticlockwise to zero (mono).
*
M/S
button out.
*
End
Fire button out (if the microphone is to be used in its normal side
entry mode).
*
Use the
Gain
and
Fine Gain
controls to set a nominal 0VU on peak signal
levels.
The
Inv
switch will have no effect when the microphone is being used in mono mode.
In mono mode one or both outputs from the control unit may be routed to the relevant track of the
recorder. Whilst monitoring a rehearsal, experiment with the
Pattern
control to capture the
optimum balance between direct and reflected sound. A tight cardioid pattern will exclude much of
the room reflections whereas an omni or figure of eight pattern will pick up both the vocal and the
room ambience.
