5TUBE CONDENSER MICROPHONE T-1 User Manual

3. Set-up

Mounting the microphone

The microphone comes with an elastic shockmount. The advantage to a conventional microphone stand mount is that mechanically induced noise is virtually absorbed.

To mount the microphone, attach the shockmount to the microphone stand and, from above, slide the T1 into the shockmount.

!!Caution

The provided shockmount is not intended to be used for suspending the T1!

Alternatively, you can also mount the T1 on a microphone stand mount. There is a screw adapter on the bottom side of the microphone.

Warming up

The T1 can basically be used a couple of seconds after the PSUT has been switched on. However, the typical sound of the the T1 only unfolds a while after activating the power supply. We recommend allowing the microphone to “warm up” 30 minutes before use.
