• We recommend that any connections made to the
mixer or recorder are made with the attenuation
(gain) set to OFF as well as the microphone switch
set to OFF.
• When fi rst switching the mixer on and when
phantom power has been applied to the M2, or
when the microphone is switched on, you should
allow several seconds for the microphone to
stabilize.
• To ensure the lowest noise/distortion your mixer
input gain control should be set so that the Peak
Program Indicator (PPI) LED fl ashes ON during
peaks of the source (voice/instrument).
If there is no PPI, adjust the input gain while
listening for distortion of the sound. If distortion is
heard, gradually reduce the gain until it is no longer
present.
• Microphone technique, or how to get the sound
you want, requires experimentation.
We suggest that you start with the channel EQ set
to ‘OFF’ or ‘FLAT’ (no boost or cut).
