Using the s1 – RODE Microphones S1 User Manual

- 6 -

• The S1 is a phantom powered microphone. To

operate correctly it requires a 48V phantom supply

from the mixing console, PA head or other source.

• It is recommended that you use a high-quality

microphone lead, and keep it as short as practical

for your stage set up. This will ensure the highest

quality sound reproduction.

• When using stage monitors, set them up as shown

below. This will direct the sound to your ears and

towards the least responsive part of the S1’s pick

up pattern.

While PA set up is well beyond this manual, if you

want to get the best sound possible with the least

problems, we recommend a book by Australian

audio legend Duncan Fry, titled “Live Sound

Mixing”.
