Microphone installation

To attach the microphones to the microphone stands, two clamps are
included with the delivery. First screw a clamp onto the stand before at-
taching the microphone itself.
8.

Audio connection

Use a balanced XLR microphone cable with the following pin assignment:
pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your PSU-T features gold-plated
contact points, we recommend that you use only microphone cables with
gold-plated connectors.
9.
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; low-cut filter and signal level attenuation should be switched
off. 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, you should start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any
at all. Remember: less is often more!
