TUBE CONDENSER MICROPHONE T‑1

The POWER switch on the unit's rear panel turns on the power supply.

Here you also find the following:

== a seven-pin XLR connector to connect to the T‑1 (MIC), == a three-pin XLR connector to transmit the signal (OUTPUT), == a switch to suppress signal humming noise (GND LIFT), == an IEC power receptacle

== and a fuse holder.

++ Use the provided cable to connect the T‑1 to the power supply unit!

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 T‑1 into the shockmount.

Caution

++ The provided shockmount is not intended to be used for suspending the T‑1!

Alternatively, you can also mount the T‑1 on a microphone stand mount. There is a screw adapter on the bottom side of the microphone.

Warming up

The T‑1 can basically be used a couple of seconds after the PSU‑T has been switched on. However, the typical sound of the the T‑1 only unfolds a while after activating the power supply. We recommend allowing the microphone to “warm up” 30 minutes before use.

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
