LARGE-DIAPHRAGM STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-3

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.
