Room and ambient noise is minimized by the selectable high-pass filter. And when recording loud sources, the selectable -10 dB pad allows the microphone to maintain pure sound quality up to 155 dB. The RM-800 is stylishly designed with a unique look, but it’s constructed with a metal housing for rugged durability.

1. Turn the speaker volume down, and use an XLR cable to connect the microphone to a preamplifier, mixing board, or recorder. Note: Recording directly into a computer requires an XLR-to-USB adapter such as the Polsen XLR-USB-48. 2. Turn the phantom power on.
For the best recording results, the microphone should point directly at the sound source. Vocalists and announcers should be positioned approximately 6 to 12 inches from the microphone. For close vocal miking, use the included pop filter to prevent vocal pops or plosives. To attach the pop filter, snap it onto the stem just below the mic capsule, and make sure it’s directly in front of the microphone.
