•Sound source less than 6 inches away from
•Sound source 6 inches to 2 feet away from
Guidelines for Microphone Use

•The C05 will boost bass frequencies when the microphone is between
•The C05 has a
•For maximum signal handling capability and minimal distortion, a minimum load impedance of 800 ohms should be used. A reduction in output signal strength and output clipping level will result with the load at 150 ohms.
