Connecting Your C5; Powering The C5 - Miktek C5 Owner's Manual

Operating the C5
over again until an oscillating tone is generated The cardioid pattern utilized by the C5 is so good at rejecting signal
not coming from directly in front of the microphone, you'll find that use of the C5 greatly minimizes feedback problems
when used in loud sound applications

Connecting your C5

Connect the C5 to your mixer, mic pre or DAW using a standard XLR microphone cable In order to ensure the proper
phase response, please note the C5's output connecter is wired as Pin 1 Ground, Pin 2 hot or positive, and Pin 3 cold or
negative Also, it always a good idea to turn down your mixers main output level control when plugging or unplugging
microphones so you can avoid any unwanted loud pops that could cause damage to your speaker system

Powering the C5

Since the C5 is a condenser microphone it needs to be operated by connecting it to a 48 volt Phantom power source
Most quality mixers, outboard mic pres and DAW mic channels have Phantom power available as a standard feature You
can also use an external phantom supply, if necessary Since most mixers and outboard mic pres have a dedicated switch
to engage the phantom power, be sure to check that the Phantom power is on Once the Phantom power source is turned
on, the C5 receives the phantom power directly from a mic cable
