Page 5: Operation
Power Requirements This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596). However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11 Vdc. Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS. - Page 6 Reduction of Proximity Effect To counter proximity effect, the KSM42 uses two diaphragms, one active and one passive, to create an acoustic phase shift at the rear of the microphone. This produces a broad “sweet spot” of uniform low- frequency response, allowing the performer to move closer or further from the microphone with minimal changes in sound quality.
