STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONES C‑2

7. Microphone installation

To attach the microphones to the microphone stands, two clamps are included with the delivery. First screw a clamp onto the stand before attacting the microphone itself.

8. Audio connection

Use a balanced XLR microphone cable with the following pin assignment: pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your C‑2 features gold-plated contact points throughout, we recommend that you use only microphone cables with gold-plated connectors.

9. Level setting / adjusting the basic sound

Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that the peak LED lights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position to start with; low-cut filter and signal level attenunation should be switched off. To get the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to the sound source or even move the microphone around in the recording room of your studio. Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound source can also be helpful. Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any at all. Remember: less is often more!
