If necessary, you can bend the microphone out of its vertical position by using the hinge
on the microphone stand.

Please make sure to handle the microphone shaft with attention and care

excessive force.

4. Audio Connection
Use a balanced XLR microphone cable with the following pin assignment:
pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your C-1 features gold-plated contact
points throughout, we recommend that you use only microphone cables with
gold-plated connectors.

5. Level Setting/Adjusting the Basic Sound
Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that the peak
LED lights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel
should be set to mid-travel position to start with. To get the sound you want, try changing
the mic position relative to the sound source or even move the microphone around in the
recording room of your studio. Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound source
can also be helpful. Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you
start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any at all (remember: less is often more!)
Due to the extremely linear frequency response and the high sonic resolution of your C-1,
there is no need for high-frequency “EQing” that can heavily influence the signal and
unnecessarily increase the noise level. The C-1 provides that much-desired transparency
which often gets lost during recording and mixing.
