STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONES C-2

7. 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 attaching the microphone itself.

8. AUDIO CONNECTION

To connect the C-2 to your equipment, use a balanced XLR
microphone cable with the following pin assignment: Pin 1 = shielding,
pin 2 = +, pin 3 = -. Since all contact points of the C-2 are gold-plated,
your microphone cable too should feature gold-plated connectors, if
possible.
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 level attenuation
should be off. Try to achieve the desired sound by experimenting
with the microphone position. Often, it will be useful to set up
acoustic barriers (“baffles”) at various angles towards the signal
source. Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved,
should you start using equalizers and signal processors, if any at
all. Remember: less is often more!
