CONNECTING THE SCM 2090
The SCM 2090 should be connected to two channels of your mixer, or mic preamp using the supplied stereo XLR cable. Plug the 5-pin XLR connector into the mic and plug the two 3-pin XLR connectors into your equipment.
The SCM 2090 must be powered by 48V phantom power on each channel (such as supplied by many mixing consoles), and amplified by a microphone pre-amp (such as built into a mixer, or a stand-alone unit). Before connecting to equipment directly, turn the channel to which you’re connecting to its lowest gain setting.
If your mixer or mic preamps do not provide phantom power, you can use two of the optional Nady SMPS-1X Phantom Power Supply, one for each channel. If you are using the Nady SMPS-1X Phantom Power Supply, connect in the following order:
1.Connect the SCM 2090 to two SMPS-1X units
2.Connect both SMPS-1X Signal Outputs to separate channels of your mixer
3.Connect the SMPS-1X to the AC power supply (115—230VAC)
4.Turn on the SMPS-1X Power ON/OFF switch
5.Slowly turn up the channel gain in your mixer to the desired level
Finally, check the audio to test and verify the stereo response of the SCM 2090 microphone corresponds to your channel configuration. (Note: During use make sure to set the pre-amp to the proper gain level—too much gain may distort subse- quent amplifiers and too little may result in a noisy signal)
USING THE OPTIONAL MICROPHONE SHOCK MOUNT
Your SCM 2090 microphone can be used with the optional Nady SSM-3 spider shockmount (or equivalent), which uses an elastic suspension to isolate the microphone from vibration, thereby lowering noise transmitted to the microphone from the stand. This is a useful tool in many situations, such as when the performer is tapping his or her feet, or when there is noise pickup from the rumbling of traffic outside of the building.
To insert your SCM 2090 microphone into the SSM-3 shockmount, pinch close the levers on the sides of the mount to the open position, then slide the microphone into place.
USING THE FOAM WINDSCREEN
The FW-2 optional foam windscreen can also be used with your SCM 2090. This windscreen fits over the grill portion of the microphone and is designed primarily to decrease bass rumble (from wind noise pickup during outdoor live or record- ing use. (Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high frequency response of the microphone.)
