Powering the MXGN Microphone
The MXGN microphones operate on phantom power. Once connected to the power
source, the MXGN mic is ready to work.
Important! When integrating the MXGN microphone into a video or audio conferencing
system, or using it with a mixing board, make sure that phantom power is enabled.
Optional Mic Capsules
The MXGN-12 and MXGN-18 include a cardioid mic capsule. Omnidirectional (MXGN-ICO)
and supercardioid (MXGN-ICS) capsules are available separately.
To exchange capsules, unscrew the capsule that’s attached to the gooseneck, and screw
on the replacement capsule. Be sure not to overtighten the capsule when installing it.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid capsule lessens off-axis noise. Use it in rooms with inadequate acoustic
treatment or in spaces where background noise is problematic. The MXGN will capture
the voice of the person sitting directly in front it while it minimizes room noise and
reverberation.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The omnidirectional capsule picks up sound in a 360-degree pattern. Use it in quiet
rooms with adequate acoustic treatment. The microphone will pick up all participants
seated on the same side of a table. Alternatively, it can be used to capture several
people seated around the microphone.
