User manual
Operating manual Please take Chorus out of the transport case and insert the mic careful-
ly into the supplied shock-mount: the elastic suspension can be moun-
ted directly to any standard mic stand with a 5/8" or 3/8" thread (using
a thread adapter) and decouples the microphone from the stand and
therefore from any impact noise.
Connect the microphone to the mic input of an appropriate preampli-
fier using a balanced XLR cable (optional). Turn on your preamplifier and
your recording and playback devices respectively and lower the volume
to the minimum. Activate the phantom power at the preamplifier. Ad-
just the gain as needed while Chorus is directed to the audio source.
Note: Avoid any feedback loops! Chorus is very sensitive and therefore
can be easily stimulated by so called feedback loops. If any feedback
occurs, instantly lower the pre-amplification and/or turn down the
playback volume of your monitoring system.
The upper switch on the microphone's front activates a high pass filter
which damps low frequency noise: the filter attenuates signals below
the cutoff frequency 160Hz with a slope of 6 dB/octave. In addition, this
filter helps to reduce the so called proximity effect – an overemphasis
of low frequencies at close range – when recording a voice or vocals.
When using Chorus for recording loud sources like guitar amplifiers,
an orchestra or when you use it as an overhead for drum recordings,
you can activate a -10dB PAD via the lower switch on the front of the
microphone: when PAD is activated, Chorus can handle signals with up
to 145dB without clipping.
The supplied foam windscreen is an alternative to professional pop
filters and reduces pop noises when using Chorus for voice-overs and
vocal recordings.
