User manual NADY CM 95

[. . . ] NADY CM SERIES USER GUIDE CM 95 Cardioid Condenser Microphones Congratulations on purchasing the Nady CM 95 classic small diaphragm (20mm) condenser microphone. This superior microphone is perfect for recording and stage reinforcement of acoustic guitar, drum overheads, hi-hats, snares, piano and horns. [. . . ] 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 FW-1 or other 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. CONNECTING THE CM 95 The CM 95 can be used in live sound reinforcement and broadcasting and in studio or live recording. 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 stand-alone unit). (Note: Make sure to set the pre-amp to the proper gain level--too much gain may distort subsequent amplifiers and too little may result in a noisy signal) The CM 95 can be connected to your mixer or phantom power supply using a standard balanced 3-pin XLR microphone cable. Before connecting to a mixer directly, turn the channel to which you're connecting to its lowest gain setting. If you are using the Nady SMPS-1 Phantom Power Supply, connect in the following order: 1. Connect the SMPS-1 Signal Output to your mixer 3. Connect the SMPS-1 to the AC power supply (115--230VAC) 4.
