  • Page 7 • To select for 220-240V use, set the voltage selector to 240V and use a 160mA slow blow fuse. • The back panel of the Classic II power supply has a microphone output socket, a ground (earth) lift, a microphone input socket, a voltage selector, and a mains power socket which also incorporates a fuse.
  • Page 8 • Having ensured that the power supply is set to the correct voltage you can begin to connect the Classic II to the power supply. Do not connect the power to the mains or switch on the microphone before connecting it to the power supply.
  • Page 9 • Now you can connect the power supply to the mains supply and begin using the Classic II microphone. • It is recommended to allow several minutes to allow the microphone to stabilise.
  • Page 10 Setting the Polar Pattern Your Classic II can be adjusted to any of nine polar patterns from omni, through cardioid to fi gure of eight. This fl exibility allows recording of most instruments and/or voices with absolute control. • Select the preferred polar pattern. This is done with the middle dial on the front of the Classic II Power Supply.

The omni pattern is commonly used for room (ambient) miking or to record a more natural sound when close miking instruments. Front is picked up 250 Hz 1 kHz...
  • Page 12 Using the Classic II • The gold dot on the face of the Classic II indicates the front of the microphone, and the pick-up area of the cardioid pattern. Please be sure to have the side with the dot facing the sound source you wish to record.
