Mixer
When connecting to a mixer, use only balanced, microphone-level inputs with phantom power. Most mixers have a switch
for phantom power, so make sure phantom power is on for that channel.
Phantom Power
All condenser microphones require phantom power to operate. This microphone performs best with a 48 V DC supply (IEC-
61938), but it can operate with lower voltages.
Phantom power is provided by the mixer or audio interface that the microphone is connected to, and requires the use of a
balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS. In most cases, there is a switch or button to activate the phantom
power. See the user guide for the mixer or interface for additional information.

logo. Use the supplied shockmount to mount the microphone. To
secure the microphone, place it in the shockmount and tighten
the ring at the bottom.
Proximity Effect
Directional microphones progressively boost bass frequencies
as the microphone is placed in closer proximity to the source.
This phenomenon, known as proximity effect, can be used to
create a warmer, more powerful sound.
