Setting Attenuation
The attenuation switch on the back of the KSM44 reduces the signal level from the cartridge by 15 dB without altering the frequency response. This can prevent extremely high SPLs from overloading the microphone. To activate attenuation, move the switch to the “15– dB” position. Note: In situations where the high output of the KSM44 might overload the microphone preamplifier of a console or mixer, use an attenuation pad in the mixer.
Integral Pop Filter
The KSM44 has an integral pop filter which helps reduce wind and breath noise. An external
Load Impedance
A load impedance of at least 1000 Ω is recommended. When used with typical modern microphone preamplifiers (rated at about 2500 Ω), the KSM44 provides higher maximum SPL capability and output clipping level. With the
Ωor greater load.
