OPERATION AND SET UP CONT.

LOW-CUT FILTERS

Each channel of the MX410 features a switchable Low-Cut filter set at 100Hz. These Low-Cut filters (sometimes called “High Pass”) cut frequencies below 100Hz signal and are effective for reducing wind noise. For several audio appli- cations engaging the Low-Cut filter is beneficial, since little usable audio informa- tion exists below 100 Hz. Especially for speech recording.

PHANTOM POWER

The MX410 can provide up to 10 mA of current to each input, sufficient for the most power-hungry condenser microphones. The MX410 Phantom Power utilizes a fixed DC voltage which is resistively applied to pin-2 and pin-3 of an XLR input connector relative to pin-1 (there is no voltage difference between the signal on pins 2 and 3; a dynamic microphone may or may not operate normally in the presence of phantom power).

It is generally a good practice to turn off phantom powering when not using a condenser microphone, as it can capacitively couple noise into the mic inputs with poor mic cables. Also, be sure to turn off phantom powering when using rib- bon microphones since an improperly wired cable can permanently damage the microphone.
