USING THE HIGH-PASS FILTER
The high-pass lter helps prevent the CS-88A from picking up low-frequency noises that can interfere with your
recording, like the rumble from an air conditioner.
To turn on the high-pass lter, slide the high-pass lter switch so it rests just above the
marking. To turn off
the high-pass lter, slide the switch back so it rests under the marking.
USING THE THREE-LEVEL GAIN SWITCH
The three-level gain switch provides a +10 dB boost or -10 dB pad. Boosting the microphone’s gain can be useful
for picking up low-level or distant sounds in a quiet environment. To boost the microphone’s gain by 10 dB, slide
the three-level gain switch so it rests under the +10 dB marking.
The -10 dB pad lowers the level of the incoming signal and is useful for preventing distortion when recording
in high-decibel environments, like a rock concert. To use the 10 dB pad, slide the switch so it rests above the
-10 dB marking.
To return the microphone’s gain to normal, slide the switch so it rests at the middle 0 dB marking.
