Low-Cut Switch
The Low-Cut Switch is located on the front-right side of the
microphone, and inserts a low-cut filter at 80Hz (top position) or
160Hz (bottom position). The switch's center position removes the
filter for a flat frequency response. Wind noise, plosives, footfall noise
or rumble might affect the recorded signal, so enabling the low-cut
filters reduces such unwanted noise and prevents distortion.
Additionally, the low-cut filters also minimize the proximity effect
when recording sound sources at a very short distance.
Powering
To ensure proper operation, the microphone requires a phantom power source providing 48 Volts
according toIEC 61938.
Safety and maintenance
Cleaning the microphone
After every use, clean the microphone with a dry, soft cloth tissue and store it in a solid case or a
zipper pouch.

Risk of damage
Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other than a
phantom power source (input with phantom power or external IEC
standard phantom power supply) with a floating connector, using a
balanced cable with studio grade connectors to IEC 268-12 only. This is
the only way to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Risk of damage
Please make sure that the piece of equipment to which your microphone
will be connected fulfils the safety regulations enforced in your country
and is fitted with a ground lead.
