Connections and Phantom Power Before disconnecting the mic and/or cable, repeat steps 1 and 2 (in the order listed). Applications The Pulsar's clean electronics combine with an all-brass capsule to produce a smooth tone that makes it a great instrument-recording microphone. Use it on acoustic instruments, wind instruments, as an overhead drum mic or room ambience recording mic. When you're ready to add more pro-quality microphones to your mic locker, be sure to check out the increased vocal punch of the M-Audio Luna and the multi-pattern recording features of the M-Audio Solaris microphone. Cardioid Pattern Cardioid is the most commonly used polar pattern engineered into microphones. This design causes the back of the microphone to reject incoming sound, allowing the engineer to isolate the signal source from other performance elements or background noise by just pointing the mic at the sound source. The logo side of the microphone is the "live" side. Pulsar Small-Capsule Condenser Microphone Care and Usage · 3 English Introduction Care of Your Microphone Here are a few tips for care of your Pulsar microphone: < < < < Never subject the Pulsar to physical shock. Always use a stand--and always use the included hard mount when securing to a stand. Always wipe the Pulsar exterior down with a soft dry cloth and return it to its case after each use to prevent damage from dust. In the event that your Pulsar needs more extensive cleaning, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water or mild household soap and clean the metal exterior, wiping it completely dry when finished. Never spray a cleaning agent on the microphone itself, as the moisture can damage the unit. Avoid subjecting the Pulsar to any kind of moisture. In vocal applications, use a windscreen to protect the diaphragm from breath condensation and saliva build-up. Never disassemble the Pulsar microphone.
