These settings can be done from a computer using the Lightware Device Controller
(LDC) software. The application is available at www.lightware.com, install it on a
Windows PC or a Mac OS X and connect to the device via LAN, USB, or RS-232.
1. Before the connection, please set these properties below:

phantom power. Keep pressed the +48V button more than 2 seconds to activate
phantom power.
 Phantom power supplies the condenser microphone by 48V which is necessary
for normal operation. Application of the phantom power can cause a damage if
dynamic or wireless microphone is connected!
 Always switch on the phantom power when the cabling and connecting are done. Do
not disconnect the microphone when the phantom power is switched on!

4. Talk to the microphone continuously.
MIC input gain
Increase the microphone input gain slowly
and check the signal indicator chart. It gives
a feedback about the optimal signal level.
 Take care that peak led (PK!) never lights up!
