STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-1

6. LEVEL SETTING/ADJUSTING THE BASIC SOUND

Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing
console so that the peak LED lights up only occasionally or never
at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should be set to
mid-travel position to start with. To get the sound you want, try
changing the mic position relative to the sound source or even
move the microphone around in the recording room of your studio.
Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound source can
also be helpful. Only when the desired basic sound has been
achieved, should you start to use equalizers and signal
processors, if any at all (remember: less is often more!)
Due to the extremely linear frequency response and the high
sonic resolution of your C-1, there is no need for high-frequency
"EQing" that can heavily influence the signal and unnecessarily
increase the noise level. The C-1 provides that much-desired
transparency which often gets lost during recording and mixing.
