Note: Sound quality is strongly affected by microphone location and room
acoustics. To achieve the best overall sound for a particular application, it may be
necessary to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments.
Power Requirements
This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-
61938). However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with
supplies as low as 11 Vdc.
Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable:
XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS.
