Setting Up the Signal Level
You can adjust the UB1's internal digitally controlled analog Input Gain stage by using
the UB1 software, or you can control the input gain by using the software control
in your computer's operating system and/or digital audio workstation. Either way,
the purpose of the mic trim control is to optimize the amount of good signal to any
associated noise. A good mic pre, like the UB1 software control panel, also will have a
LEVEL or CLIP indicators. To set a good level on the mic, set the UB1 up in front of the
desired sound source and slowly raise the input trim control until you see the CLIP
or Peak indicator light up. Then, turn the input trim control down until the indicator
does not light any more.
UB1 Installation
The UB1 can be installed on just about any flat surface. Simply place the unit on a
conference table, alter or sound stage. For mounting flush to a wall or ceiling, you
can use the mounting holes provided on the rear of the microphone. Take care not
to cover the any part of the mic element with your hand or any other object. Also, be
aware of a phenomenon called the proximity effect, as explained on page 6, which
causes a noticeable change in the frequencies response of the microphone.
