STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONES C‑2 1. 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 MICROPHONES C‑2 4. Pickup patterns Both microphones feature a capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern. Microphones with this polar pattern are most sensitive to sound coming from in front of the microphone, and also to a lesser extent from the sides. Sound coming from behind the microphone will be greatly attenuated. This makes the caqrdioid polar pattern most suitable for recording individual instruments or vocals within a group.
STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONES C‑2 7. Microphone installation To attach the microphones to the microphone stands, two clamps are included with the delivery. First screw a clamp onto the stand before attacting the microphone itself. 8. Audio connection Use a balanced XLR microphone cable with the following pin assignment: pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your C‑2 features gold-plated contact points throughout, we recommend that you use only microphone cables with gold-plated connectors. 9.
