How to use

Connect the microphone to a mixer or preamplifier using an XLR cable and supply DC power according to your audio equipment requirements. Position the microphone at an appropriate distance and angle from the instrument to capture the desired balance between direct sound and room ambience; closer placement emphasizes attack and presence, while slightly farther placement captures more natural resonance. Secure the microphone with an appropriate clip, mount, or stand adapter, and set input gain on your console or interface to avoid clipping while preserving dynamic range.

Recommendations

For consistent results, test placement during a soundcheck and adjust the angle and distance incrementally. Use a quality XLR cable and a reliable DC power source to minimize noise. When recording, consider combining the microphone with room or overhead mics to broaden the captured soundstage if needed.
