Because the unit is compact and lightweight, mounting location is not critical. The RP-1 is placed inline with the Mic. The RP-1 can be zip tied to the mic stand, so tonal adjustments can be made on the fly.
LOW CUT FILTER control The Low Cut Filter is a single tuned High Pass Filter. The input signal can be filtered to remove low frequency information. The roll off frequency is set at 100Hz. Since it is single tuned, it preserves some low frequency content so its use is less obtrusive.

Ribbon Mic Ribbon type (transformer coupled) microphones are sensitive to the input impedance of the preamps or mixers used to achieve the optimum frequency response. A Ribbon mic would like to see an input impedance several times larger than its output impedance.

Dual RP, you can achieve a clean full frequency response from your microphones using the Dual RP. The beauty of the RP-1 may be the ability to operate at higher impedance or control the impedance vs. the mixer you are currently using.
