5 SINGLE DIAPHRAGM CONDENSER MICROPHONE B-5 User Manual
7. 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 controls
in the microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position to start with;
low-cut lter and level attenuation should be o. Try to achieve the desired sound
by experimenting with the microphone position. Often, it will be useful to set up
acoustic barriers (“baes”) at various angles towards the signal source. Only when
the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you start using equalizers and
signal processors, if any at all. Remember: less is often more!
