The C 1000 S is a condenser microphone and therefore needs
a power supply. An internal 9 V battery enables you to use the
microphone with no loss in audio quality even if no phantom
power supply is available. When operating off phantom power,
however, the microphone will automatically switch to phantom
powering mode.
The microphone provides a balanced output on a 3-pin male
XLR connector:
Pin 1: ground
Pin 2: hot
Pin 3: return
You can connect the microphone either to a balanced micro-
phone input with or without phantom power or an unbalanced
microphone input.
1. Unscrew the wire-mesh cap (1).
2. Tilt the securing clip (2) up.
3. Insert the battery to conform with the polarity marks (+/-)

It is impossible to insert the battery with reversed polarity.
4. Depress the securing clip (2).
5. Push the battery compartment back in.
6. Screw the wire-mesh cap (1) back on the microphone.
7. Set the on/off switch (3) to "ON" to switch power to the
microphone on.
The BATT CHECK LED (4) will flash momentarily. If the bat-
tery is in good condition, the BATT CHECK LED (4) will
extinguish.
