[. . . ] Then, lay the small bag containing the moisture-absorbing crystals on top of the microphone head. 2. By purchasing the BEHRINGER C-4, you have obtained 2 condenser microphones that offer the highest quality standards and the best audio characteristics. Both microphones have been matched to one another (matched pair), and are therefore particularly well-suited for stereo recordings. Of course, you can also use the microphones individually. [. . . ] By cleverly selecting the position and the angle of your microphone, you can effectively manipulate the proximity effect and thus affect how your recording sounds. Experiment with various positions in order to gain more experience. 5. Possible applications Both microphones have been matched to one another (matched pair). Therefore, they are particularly well-suited for stereo recordings. Regardless of whether you are miking an entire ensemble or a single sound source (e. g. drums, piano or background vocals), this pair of condenser microphones lets you achieve outstanding spatial impressions in every recording session. Of course, you can use your microphones individually as well. A cardioid pattern capsule is often used in recording situations in which several sound sources are present. Since this capsule selectively tones down the pickup of sounds located to the side of the microphone, this way you can achieve good separation of sound sources, thus easily avoiding feedback. 6. Low cut-filter and signal level attenuation (-10 dB) The C-4 studio microphones feature a switchable low-cut filter that lets you eliminate low-frequency disturbances such as subsonic noise. Set the switch to its middle position to activate the low-cut filter. A switchable level attenuation is provided on your C-4s for applications in which the microphones are exposed to extremely high sound pressures. When the switch is in its "-10 dB" position, the level attenuation is activated. When the switch is in its top-most position, the signal is not influenced in any way.

Microphone installation To attach the microphones to the microphone stands, two clamps are included with the delivery. First screw a clamp onto the stand before attaching the microphone itself. 8. Audio connection Use a balanced XLR microphone cable with the following pin assignment: pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your PSU-T features gold-plated contact points, we recommend that you use only microphone cables with gold-plated connectors. 9. Level setting / adjusting the basic sound Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that the peak LED lights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position to start with; low-cut filter and signal level attenuation should be switched off.
