1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read all safety precautions and operating instructions
before attempting to operate the unit. Keep all safety precautions
and operating instructions for future reference.
Water and moisture:
Condenser microphones are extremely moisture-sensitive. Never
use your microphone in close proximity to water (e.g. bath tubs,
wash basins, sinks, washing machines, pools, etc.).
Power supply:
Always use the power supply specified in the operating
instructions.
Damage:
Take care not to drop your microphone as this can lead to severe
damage. BEHRINGER assumes no liability for any damage caused
by the user.
Service and care:
After each use, wipe the microphone down with a soft cloth and
place it back into its protective casing (included with the
microphone).
Caution:
Never dismount the screen holding the capsule, as this can
damage the microphone! Never try to modify the printed circuit
board inside your C-3! This can lead to microphone damage that
cannot be repaired. Any such attempt will void the warranty.
2. POWER SUPPLY
Your condenser mic C-3 needs a phantom power supply
(+48 V). If your C-3 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.
3. DIRECTIVITY
Your C-3 is a large-diaphragm microphone featuring a double mem-
brane. This allows you to choose between three different pickup
patterns - cardioid, omnidirectional and figure eight. Make your se-
lection using the switch located at the back of your microphone.
