Low-Cut Switch
The Low-Cut Switch is located on the lower rear side of the
microphone and inserts a low-cut filter at 80Hz. The switch’s top
position removes the filter for a flat frequency response. Wind noise,
plosives, footfall noise or rumble might affect the recorded signal, so
enabling the low-cut filter reduces such unwanted noise and prevents
distortion. Additionally, the low-cut filter also minimizes the proximity
effect when recording sound sources at a very short distance.
Powering
To ensure proper operation, the microphone requires a phantom power source providing 48 Volts
according to IEC 61938.
Risk of damage
Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other than a phantom
power source (input with phantom power or external IEC standard phantom
power supply) with a floating connector, using a balanced cable with studio
grade connectors to IEC 268-12 only. This is the only way to ensure safe
and reliable operation.
Safety and maintenance
Risk of damage
Please make sure that the piece of equipment to which your microphone
will be connected fulfils the safety regulations enforced in your country and
is fitted with a ground lead.
Cleaning the microphone
After every use, clean the microphone with a dry, soft cloth tissue and store it in a solid case or a
zipper pouch.
