And to expand your miking options and recording techniques, the C03 fea- tures three pickup patterns. The Cardioid pattern is great for miking applications where tight pickup is desired, and with the Omni and Figure 8 patterns you can mic multiple instruments, capture room sounds and expand your soundfield.
A good mic pre with trim also will have a PEAK or CLIP LED. To set a good level on the mic, set the C03 up in front of the desired sound source and slowly raise the mic trim control until you see the PEAK LED light up. Then, turn the mix trim control down until the LED does not light any more.
You can also create some interesting slap back echo effects by positioning the C03 in Figure-8 pattern between a recorded instrument and a particular wall in the studio. The rear capsule will pick up the reflection of the sound off the wall, and by changing the distance of the micro- phone from the wall you can actually change the delay time of the echo.
In order to maximize the sound quality, you must pay careful attention to the placement of your C03 and how it is positioned for the instrument or vocalist that you are miking. All microphones, especially uni-directional or cardioid microphones, exhibit a phenomenon known as the “proximity effect.”...
