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.

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.

the ring at the bottom.

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.
