Page 8: Operating The Space 87
Operating the Space 87 Powering the Space 87 The Space 87 is a condenser microphone and therefore needs to be operated by connecting a phantom power supply. Phantom power is standard on most quality mixers, outboard mic pre-amps (MIC pres), and hard disk recorders. If necessary an external phantom power supply can also be used. -
Page 9: Setting Up The Signal Level
Setting up the signal level When connecting the Space 87 to a mixer or recorder input, be sure that the input is of an acceptable/low level. Most mixers and recorders of reasonable quality will offer a microphone input with MIC trim (usually called Trim or Gain) control. The purpose of the MIC trim control is to optimize the amount of good signal to any noise associated with the mixer's electronics. -

When these sources are recorded with a sensitive microphone like the Space 87, the microphone's capsule can become overloaded by the high sound pressure levels.
