Marshall electronic MXL USB.007 사용자 설명서

Congratulations on your purchase of the MXL USB.007 which uses two gold 

diaphragm capsules in an X/Y pattern for stereo recording. MXL microphones are 

the result of world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities. They are de-

signed to provide you with outstanding performance and exceptional value. While 

we encourage you to review this entire manual, there are a few key points about 

handling this microphone that we want you to familiarize yourself with right from 

the start.
The MXL USB mics are a professional quality, condenser microphone designed 

specifically for recording. Unlike microphones designed for live performance or 

lesser dynamic model microphones, this instrument requires careful handling. 

Hence, you should observe the following…

ALWAYS…  handle the microphone carefully, avoiding sudden shocks such as  

 

dropping or bumping the microphone into other objects.

ALWAYS…  maintain a distance of approximately 4 – 6 inches when speaking  

 

or singing into the microphone. You are encouraged to use a pop  

 

filter for added protection of the sensitive capsule and to shield  

 

the   instrument from saliva and sudden bursts of air.

NEVER…  tap the microphone to check if it’s working. The RED LED   

 

behind the microphone’s protective grill will tell you it’s on and  

 

that the correct side is facing you.

NEVER…  blow into the microphone to check if it’s working. The RED LED  

 

behind the microphone’s protective grill will tell you it’s on.

By following these few basic handling procedures, you can expect a long and 

trouble-free relationship with your new microphone. Again, thank you for your 

purchase of this outstanding MXL microphone.

MXL stereo microphones use what is known as a X/Y pattern, which is two cap-

sules facing 90º apart. Each capsule will send the audio information it receives to 

the corrosponding right or left side of a stereo track on the computer. The capsule 

behind the “L” is more sensitive to sound waves arriving from the left side of the 

microphone as opposed to those arriving from the right side. The capsule behind 

the “R” is just the opposite. Unlike other MXL models, this microphone benefits 

from being a USB (Universal Serial Bus) device—meaning this is a plug and play 

microphone that will interface with Windows and Macintosh computers without 

the need for any special drivers. As a USB device, it carries the added benefit of 

not requiring an external microphone preamp, as is the case with most condenser 

microphones.

We’ve already mentioned the importance of proper handling, but should you find 

yourself recording an outdoor performance, you would be well advised to use a 

windscreen as protection for your microphone.

Begin by examining the contents of your MXL USB kit. 

You should have the following components:

• Protective vinyl travel case

•  One MXL USB.007 microphone

•  A 10-foot USB 2.0 high speed cable

•  A windscreen

•  A desktop microphone stand plus the mounting ring

•  Owners manual

•  Microphone applications guide

In addition to speaking or singing into the side of the microphone with the RED 

LED facing you, you should also understand the use of the three-position attenu-

ation switch on the microphone’s back side. 

What’s an attenuation switch?                              

An attenuation switch reduces the signal strength 

in an electronic device. As the microphone con-

verts acoustical energy (your voice) into electrical 

energy (the signal that feeds your computer), it is 

possible that a loud, “boomy” voice, or a vocalist 

who is really “belting out those notes” may exceed 

normal recording levels. In this case, you will want 

to reduce the signal strength by using the micro-

phone’s attenuation switch.

The attenuation switch (see Figure #1) on the back side of the USB mic provides 

three positions: High, Medium, and Low - identified as: Hi, Med, Lo. Normally, 

you’ll want to keep the microphone’s attenuation switch in the Hi position. If, 

however, you need to “back off” the signal to compensate for a loud voice, sim-

ply move the switch to the desired setting. You may also need to move further 

away from the microphone which will also reduce the level.

PLEASE NOTE: Recording is a creative process, so there are no hard and fast 

rules. Experimentation is the key to best results.

1. After opening the stand’s tripod leg system and placing it on the table or desk, 

loosen the angle adjuster and orient the large portion of the microphone holder 

so that it faces upward, or horizontal.

2. Place the base of the microphone into the microphone holder with one hand 

while holding it upright with your other hand.
