Setting the Microphone Level When connecting the MTR201 to a mixer, use a balanced cable and be sure that the input is balanced and connected to a channel that is set for microphone level. Also, be sure that the phantom power is engaged. Most mixers and recorders of reasonable quality will offer a microphone input with mic trim (usually called Trim or Gain) control. - Page 5 10dB Attenuation Switch The MTR201 includes a 10dB attenuation pad that can be selected with the slide switch located below the grill, which is used to prevent overloading the onboard preamplifier by lowering the input sensitivity of the microphone preamplifier circuit.
- Page 6 Acoustic Guitar There are a variety of ways that the MTR201 can be used to mike an acoustic guitar. Optimal microphone placement will depend on the type of instrument, and what kind of sound you’re looking to capture. It may be necessary to experiment with various positions to achieve full and balanced tone.

If you have a pair of MTR201 microphones, try one positioned at the fingerboard and the second over the bridge of the guitar, or have one micro- phone positioned close to the guitar and the second a few feet away to pick up the sound of the room, blending the two sources together. - Page 8 Shockmount To isolate the MTR201 from external vibrations and prevent unwanted noises that are transmitted through the stand, the microphone can be fitted on the custom- designed MSM1 spider shockmount. Follow the steps below to install the micro- phone into the shockmount.
- Page 9 The pop filter also helps to protect the microphone element from moisture. The MTR201 features a unique design that enables the MPF1 pop filter to be mounted directly to the microphone.
