[. . . ] The low-frequency roll-off switch allows the user to reduce low frequency 'clutter' in the audio signal at the source, making for cleaner recorded tracks with increased presence and definition. Changing the capsules is a very simple proceedure. Simply unscrew the head of the microphone and replace with the alternate capsule to change from omnidirectional to the cardioid pattern or vice versa. Do not over tighten the capsule, and pay particular attention to the threading of the capsule to ensure you DO NOT cross thread the capsule. It is a good idea to store the replacement capsules in the box provided as they are fragile and always store the microphone body in their case when not in use. Low Frequency Roll Off, -10dB Pad 6 inches x 1 inch (151 mm x 25. 4mm) 5. 0 oz / 144g Connect the microphone to your mixer or preamp with a high quality XLR cable before turning on the phantom power source. Always make sure all volume and gain controls on your mixer or mic preamp are set to their minimum levels when powering up the microphone. The Apex185s come with IMC-9 shockmount cradles to better isolate the capsules when using the microphones for most delicate recording or live sound reinforcement applications Understanding Multiple Polar Patterns An omni-directional pattern will give your mic the ability to pickup sound from all directions. This is ideal for recording sounds that emanate from multiple directions, or picking up the source material as well as the natural ambiance and reverberation of a room.
