The C 3000 provides selector switches for the preattenuation pad and bass cut 
filter. 
Preattenuation Selector 
The selector switch on the left-hand side of the 
microphone (fig. 1) lets you increase the 
microphone's headroom by 10 dB for distortion 
free recordings of very loud sound sources or 
close to sound sources. The preattenuation 
pads prevent the microphone's output level, 
particularly at low frequencies, from over-
loading the miniature transformers used in 
mixer input stages, etc. 
 
 
Bass Cut Selector 
Rumbling or wind noise may cause distortion 
at very low frequencies. The microphone's 
switchable bass cut filter (refer to fig. 2) further 
reduces low-end distortion. The filter slope is 
more than 6 dB/octave at 500 Hz and below. 
The bass cut also minimizes the proximity 
effect that may arise when close-in miking 
from less than 6 inches..
