The Proximity Effect; Stand Mounting The C5 - Miktek C5 Owner's Manual

Operating the C5

The Proximity Effect

All cardioid or uni-directional microphones exhibit a phenomenon known as "proximity effect" The proximity effect is
the increase in low frequency response a microphone exhibits as it is moved closer to the sound source Vocalist tend
to love this effect since when they get really close to the mic they get the "FM radio", big bass sound A good vocalist
with good mic technique will use the proximity effect to adjust their tonal response in real time The key to developing
the best mic technique is experimentation, along with awareness of the general principle that, the closer your C5 is to a
signal source, the greater the bass response The proximity effect's bass lift is caused by the amount of pressure present
at the ports that are used to create the directional pattern Since omnidirectional microphones do not have ports, they do
not have proximity effect

Stand Mounting the C5

The C5 can be mounted to any standard microphone stand using the included mic stand holder or the SM5 shock-mount
If you are using a US standard 5/8-inch mic stand, remove the Euro adapter by unscrewing it from the mic holder Slide
the microphone into the holder from the front to the back
