STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE B-5 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Detailed safety precautions: Please read all safety precautions and operating instructions before attempting to operate the unit. Keep all safety precautions and operating instructions for future reference. Water and moisture: Condenser microphones are extremely moisture-sensitive. Never use your microphone in close proximity to water (e.g. bath tubs, wash basins, sinks, washing machines, pools, etc.).
STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE B-5 If you use the cardioid pattern capsule, the pickup pattern is such that the sound produced by sources located in front of the mic is strongly picked up, while sound sources to the side are picked up less pronouncedly. Therefore, the cardioid pattern capsule is ideal for directional pickup of acoustic instruments. It is often used in recording situations in which several sound sources are present.
STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE B-5 5. MICROPHONE INSTALLATION To properly attach your microphone to a microphone stand, a clamp is included. First screw this clamp onto your stand before attaching the microphone itself. 6. CHANGING MICROPHONE CAPSULES When your B-5 leaves the assembly plant, it has the cardioid pickup pattern capsule screwed onto its shaft. To loosen the capsule, hold the shaft firmly and unscrew the capsule turning it counter-clockwise.
