The capsule is the heart of the condenser microphone. If it becomes dirty or wet, the sound will be degraded. Never spray any
liquid on the microphone head. Always use a foam windscreen if you talk or sing close to the microphone grill screen.
The CM 90 is supplied with a foam windscreen (FW-1/90). This windscreen fits over the grill portion of the microphone and is
designed primarily to decrease bass rumble (from wind noise pickup) during outdoor live or recording use. It is also useful in
keeping mouth spray out of the microphone head. The FW-1 or other windscreen should be used whenever someone is close
miked to both protect the microphone and to also eliminate “popping” sounds from percussive breath sounds.
(Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high frequency response of the microphone.
The CM 90 can be used in live sound reinforcement and broadcasting and in studio or live recording. It must be powered by
48V phantom power (such as supplied by the optional Nady SMPS-1 phantom power supply or a mixing console with phan-
tom powering), and amplified by a microphone pre-amp (such as built into a mixer, or a stand-alone unit).
(Note: Make sure to set the pre-amp to the proper gain level—too much gain may distort subsequent amplifiers and too little
may result in a noisy signal)
The CM 90 can be connected to your mixer or phantom power supply using a standard balanced 3-pin XLR microphone cable.
Before connecting to a mixer directly, turn the channel to which you’re connecting to its lowest gain setting. If you are using the
Nady SMPS-1 Phantom Power Supply, connect in the following order:
1. Connect the CM 90 to the SMPS-1
2. Connect the SMPS-1 Signal Output to your mixer
3. Connect the SMPS-1 to the AC power supply (115—230VAC)
4. Turn on the SMPS-1 Power ON/OFF switch
Slowly turn up the channel gain in your mixer to the desired level
