It must be powered by 48V phantom power (such as supplied by the optional Nady SMPS-1 phantom power supply or a mixing console with phantom powering), and amplified by a microphone pre-amp (such as built into a mixer, or a standalone unit). (Note: Make sure to set the pre-amp to the proper gain leveltoo much gain may distort subsequent amplifiers and too little may result in a noisy signal) The CM 88 can be connected to your mixer or phantom power supply using a standard balanced 3-pin XLR microphone cable. [. . . ] This means that feedback will be greatly minimized with the CM 88 in all live performance miking applications. Some useful ways in which to totally eliminate annoying feedback include: experimenting with mic positions with respect to the speakers, decreasing speaker volume (whenever possible), and adjusting the equalization of the mic audio with the mixer. PRECAUTIONS AND CARE OF YOUR CM 88 · The capsule is the heart of the condenser microphone. If it becomes dirty or wet, the sound will be degraded. Never spray any liquid on the microphone head. Always use a foam windscreen if you talk or sing close to the microphone grill screen. · The microphone should never be dropped or subjected to extreme shock. Store only in a padded case to protect it during transport. · Keep the microphone away from extremely high temperatures (above 140°F or 60°C) and humidity. Avoid leaving the microphone in direct sunlight for long periods of time. · When using the microphone outdoors, avoid getting it wet. · After use in a high-moisture application such as a stage performance, wipe off the microphone with a dry cloth and permit it to air dry. Do not store the unit in a closed space (e. g. , a plastic bag) until all moisture has evaporated. · The CM 88 is supplied with a foam windscreen. This windscreen fits over the grill portion of the microphone and is designed primarily to decrease bass rumble (from wind noise pickup) during outdoor live or recording use. It is also useful in keeping mouth spray out of the microphone head. The windscreen should be used whenever someone is close miked to both protect the microphone and to also eliminate "popping" sounds from percussive breath sounds. (Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high frequency response of the microphone. ) FREQUENCY RESPONSE SERVICE (U.
