of the cardioid pattern symbol.

condensation from one’s breath

and protects and protects the

microphone’s capsule from moisture
in the process. Condensation on
the microphone’s capsule will cause
the microphone to short circuit -
resulting in the microphone cutting
in and out of operation. Should this
occur, you can leave the microphone
uncovered, out in the open

for approximately two weeks to

thoroughly dry. This will likely

rectify the problem. Afterward, you
should always use a pop filter.

Shockmount

The Genesis-SE comes with a
custom shockmount specifically

designed to handle its large

size. Shockmounts de-couple the

microphone from the mic stand and

the environment. The shock-mount

will minimize floornoise as well
as any noise induced by people

handling the microphone stand.
Shockmounts should be considered
“standard equipment” for all

recording applications.

Microphone Cables

The microphone cable can have a
profound effect on the sound of

any microphone. Even the finest
microphones will sound poor if the
interconnect cable allows noise to
enter, or causes distortion and

loss of information. We highly

recommend exclusively using the

Mogami

cables supplied with

your Genesis-SE Mic.

Accessories

Front Panel Placement: For the upper strings, position the microphone
approximately 8 - 11 inches away from the strings, with the Pan position set
to left of center. For the lower strings, position the microphone 8 - 11 inches
away from the strings, with the Pan position set to right of center.

(see Fig. 4B)

Single Microphone / Open Top: If you are using a single microphone, it is
generally recommended that you record from above, as placement of the

microphone in the lower center may interfere with the performer’s ability to
access the pedals and the microphone will likely pick up excessive pedal

and other mechanical noise. Position the microphone just over the open top,
centered over the instrument. (see Fig. 4C)
