3. Low Cut-Filter and Signal Level Attenuation
The low cut filter is activated via the left switch located at the front of your C-3
(switch position: left,
noise, snapping and wind sounds can be filtered out. When the low cut filter is active,
when recording a voice from a close distance, you get an almost entirely linear
frequency response.
The switch located on the front right side of your C-3 activates the -10 dB signal level
attenuation (switch position: right, -10 dB). This function is particularly recommended
when recording impulse sound sources with high sound pressure (e.g. a bass drum).

Fig. 4.1: Attaching the microphone stand
A holder is screwed onto your microphone, allowing you to attach it to mic stands with
a 3/ 8 " or 5/8" thread. An adapter has been included. First dismantle the microphone
from the stand mount adapter
at the bottom end of the microphone. Fasten the adapter onto the microphone stand,
place the microphone into it and tighten the screw again.
Basically, the microphone in the stand mount adapter should stand upright and face
the sound source at a right angle. The angle of the microphone to the sound source
influences the sound of the recording; therefore, experiment with different positions
until you achieve the desired sound. To this end, you can rotate the mic in the stand
mount adapter by loosening the screw somewhat and tightening it again.
