STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-1 User Manual
If necessary, you can bend the microphone out of its vertical position by using the
hinge on the microphone stand.
Please make sure to handle the microphone shaft with attention and ◊
care to avoid damaging the screw thread. In no situation should you
ever apply excessive force.
Of course, you can detach the C-1 from the stand mount adapter and attach it to a
commercially available suspension mount.
Audio Connection4.
Use a balanced XLR microphone cable with the following pin assignment:
pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your C-1 features gold-plated
contact points throughout, we recommend that you use only microphone cables
with gold-plated connectors.
Level Setting/Adjusting the Basic Sound5.
Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that
the peak LED lights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the
microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position to start with. To get
the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to the sound source
or even move the microphone around in the recording room of your studio.
Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound source can also be helpful.
Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you start to use
equalizers and signal processors, if any at all (remember: less is often more!)
Due to the extremely linear frequency response and the high sonic resolution of
your C-1, there is no need for high-frequency “EQing” that can heavily inuence
the signal and unnecessarily increase the noise level. The C-1 provides that
much-desired transparency which often gets lost during recording and mixing.
