MICROPHONE MODELER MODULE 

Source Mic Page

 

ª

Pressing the SRC button brings up this page:

Source Mic: 

Shure SM57

Use the Data Knob to select a source mic.
The Source Mic list includes both specific mics and 

generic mic categories. If you are using one of the specific 

mics, select that mic. Specific mics include:

Shure SM58

Rode NT1

Shure SM57

Rode NT2

Shure Beta 58a

Rode NT3

Shure KSM 32

CAD M177

Audio Technica 3035

CAD E200

Audio Technica ATM31  CAD E350 (default setting)
Audio Technica ATM41a
Audio Technica 4050

If your mic is not listed, select the generic mic category 

that best describes your mic. Generic mic categories 

include:

Hand-held Dynamic 
Studio Dynamic 
Wireless
Small Diaphragm Condenser
Large Diaphragm Condenser

Additionally, the list offers a selection called “Bypass.” 

When Bypass is selected, the source signal is passed 

unmodified to the Modeled Mic section. You should 

select Bypass when your source was not recorded with a 

microphone (e.g., guitar via direct box, direct synth input, 

etc.).

NOTE

Even if your audio was recorded with a microphone, you 

can still choose Bypass as the Source Mic and any mic 

as the Modeled Mic. In that case, the resulting effect is 

equivalent to having recorded the audio with your actual 

physical mic (which you, of course, did) and then having 

played back that track through a good set of speakers 

and rerecorded it with the Modeled Mic. What you end up 

with is a hybrid of your actual and modeled mic.

Model Mic Page

 

ª

Pressing the MODEL button brings up this page:

Model Mic:

Lg Dia condenser #1

Use the Data Knob to select the desired type of mic 

model. Models include:

Hand-held Dynamic
Studio Dynamic
Small Diaphragm Condenser #1
Small Diaphragm Condenser #2
Large Diaphragm Condenser #1
Large Diaphragm Condenser #2 

(default setting)
Large Diaphragm Condenser #3
Drum Mic - Kick 
Drum Mic - Snare 
Drum Mic - Cymbal
Telephone

Additionally, the list offers a selection called “Bypass.” 

When Bypass is selected, no mic model is applied. The 

net sonic effect of selecting Bypass here depends on the 

setting of the Source Mic:

If the correct source mic is selected in the Source Mic 

• 

list and Bypass is selected in the Modeled Mic list, the 

final output of the Mic Modeler module will be stripped 

of the characteristics of the source mic, resulting 

in the signal that would have been recorded by an 

instrumentation microphone with no proximity effect.
If Bypass is selected in the Source Mic list and Bypass is 

• 

selected in the Modeled Mic list, the final output of the 

Mic Modeler module will be identical to the original 

input signal (with the exception of any added tube 

warmth).

Low Cut/Proximity Page

 

ª

Pressing the LOW CUT button brings up this page:

Src LC  ON Prox  4.5

Mdl LC  ON Prox  6.3

(There’s a lot going on with the parameters on this page 

and some of it is rather counter-intuitive, so if things 

don’t seem to be acting the way you’d expect, refer to the 

explanations below.)
This page contains the Low Cut Filter and Proximity 

settings for both the Source mic and the Model mic. Use 

the cursor buttons to navigate to the desired fields and 

the Data Knob to set the values.
