SoundSystem DMX 33
!
Microphone Input.
The MIC input is only for connecting commercial capacitor
microphones (with or without batteries). The input sensitivity is
approx. 0.1Vrms.
The Basics.
Microphone recordings, e.g., for speech recognition or Internet telephony can be made using
the MIC labeled input on your SoundSystem DMX. User either a commercial capacitor
microphone or headset with a mono-jack bush (3.5mm mini-jack).
MIC
The sensitivity can be adjusted using the SoundSystem DMX ControlPanel. There is also a
switch for a built-in booster for the microphone input. It is a button labeled "BOOST" and
increases the sensitivity of the input, and also increases background noise.
Safety Tip.
When using the microphone, unpleasant feedback can occur suddenly
(loud whistling) which can be bad for your speakers as well as your
hearing. Please reduce the volume when first using a microphone and
increase the volume carefully.
Misunderstandings
To avoid misunderstandings: Don't expect wondrous sound to come from a "sound card"
microphone input – not even one from TerraTec ;-) . Please note that the microphone input
does not support a microphone with phantom powering (48V for the power supply). These
devices are used in professional studios and live on-stage and usually have a 6.3mm jack or 3-
