Frequently asked questions

How do I power the C01 microphone?

The C01 requires phantom power, which is standard on most quality mixers and hard disk recorders. A blue LED will illuminate when phantom power is present.

What pickup pattern does the C01 use?

The C01 uses a hyper-cardioid pickup pattern, which offers even more side-to-side rejection than standard cardioid microphones.

How do I set the signal level correctly?

Raise the mic trim control until the PEAK LED lights up, then turn it down slightly so the LED does not light any more.
