Powering the Microphone
The MC5-MS microphone requires 48 V phantom power to operate. Phantom power is supplied by
most professional video cameras, mixing consoles, or recording devices.
Connect the XLR outputs to your device, and activate phantom power for both channels on your
source.
Mounting the Microphone
Attach the MC5-MS to a camcorder via the camcorder’s microphone mount or a shock mount (not
included). For mic-stand mounting, use a shock mount or standard microphone clip.
Important!
Make sure the microphone is in the correct orientation when it’s mounted. The word UP on the ring
at the base of the microphone should point up. Also make sure the microphone’s grille and ports
are not obstructed.
