3 STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-1 User Manual
Power Supply1.
Your condenser mic C-1 needs a phantom power supply (+36 to +52 V). If your
C-1 is connected to a microphone preamp and supplied with phantom power,
the LED on the microphone lights up. BEHRINGER assumes no liability for any
damage caused by a defective phantom power supply. Always mute the sound
reinforcement system before you switch on the phantom power supply.
Directivity2.
Your C-1 features a capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern and is ideal for
recording individual instruments, vocals and speech. Cardioid pickup pattern
means that the sound produced by sources located in front of the mic is strongly
picked up. It is often used in recording situations, since this directivity pattern
tones down the pickup of sounds located to the back of the microphone.
Microphone Installation3.
There is an adapter on your microphone that lets you mount it on mic stands with
either metric (Europe) or imperial-gauge threads (North America). First dismantle
the microphone from the stand mount adapter by detaching the ne-thread
shoulder screw 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 inuences the sound of the recording; therefore, experiment with
dierent 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.
