Using the High-Pass Filter

• The High-Pass Filter controls the bass frequencies.

Sometimes referred to as a ‘bass cut’, this will

reduce the selected bass frequency and all

frequencies below that.

The HPF can be adjusted by

moving the middle of the three

dials on the microphone.

• When the dial is in the far left position there is

no reduction of the bass frequencies and so the

microphone will deliver a full response.

• When the ﬁ lter is in the far right position the level

is dropped by 3dB at 150Hz and below, which is

certainly audible and will have a direct effect on

most sound sources.

• You may choose any setting between 20Hz and

150Hz to cut the level of the selected frequency

and below by 3dB.

• This control is useful for selecting the cut-off point

for potentially offending low frequencies (eg. trafﬁ c

noise, ﬂ oor vibrations etc). It can also used on

vocals where you may want a limited response for a

‘different’ sound.

• The best way to set this control is to listen to

the microphone while recording the source. If

it is vocals for example, set the mic to fully anti-

clockwise then listen to the vocal sound as you

start to move the ﬁ lter in the clockwise position.
