Operating the MC 950

The MC 950 features a supercardioid polar pattern, which provides excellent off-axis rejection, making it highly effective for isolating sound sources in noisy environments or when multiple instruments are present.

Karakteristik:

  • Filtè Low-Cut: The microphone includes a switchable -6dB-per-octave low-cut filter at 250Hz. This filter helps to attenuate unwanted low-frequency rumble, proximity effect, or stage noise. To activate, locate the switch on the microphone body and slide it to the "on" position.
  • -15dB Pad: For very loud sound sources, the MC 950 is equipped with a switchable -15dB pad. This pad reduces the input signal level before it reaches the microphone's internal electronics, preventing distortion. To activate, locate the switch on the microphone body and slide it to the "on" position.

Konsèy plasman:

  • For acoustic instruments like guitars, position the microphone a few inches from the soundhole or bridge for a balanced sound. Experiment with distance and angle to achieve the desired tone.
  • When miking drums, the supercardioid pattern helps in isolating individual drums or cymbals, reducing bleed from other sources.
  • For vocals, maintain a consistent distance from the microphone to avoid variations in level and tone.
