Vlastnosti

  • Large Diaphragm Moving Coil Dynamic: Delivers a full, rich sound.
  • Supercardioid Polar Pattern: Provides excellent off-axis rejection, minimizing feedback and isolating the sound source.
  • Vysoký výkon: Ensures strong signal levels, suitable for loud stages and demanding applications.
  • Odolná konstrukce: Postaveno tak, aby odolalo náročným podmínkám živého vystoupení i studiového použití.
  • Side Address Design: Optimized for close-miking instruments and ampzáchranáři.

Nastavení

  1. Montáž: Attach the D80 microphone to a standard microphone stand using the provided microphone clip. Ensure the microphone is securely fastened.
  2. Spojení: Connect the microphone to your audio interface, mixer, or preamplifier using a balanced XLR cable. The D80 features an XLR connector for reliable signal transmission.
  3. Umístění:
    • For guitar cabinets, position the front of the microphone (indicated by "Front" on the casing) towards the speaker cone. Experiment with placement (center vs. edge) and distance for desired tonal characteristics.
    • For percussion, place the microphone to capture the primary sound source while minimizing bleed from other instruments. The supercardioid pattern helps in isolating the sound.
  4. Ziskytaging: Before use, set the gain on your audio interface or mixer to an appropriate level. Start with the gain low and gradually increase it until a strong, clear signal is achieved without clipping or distortion.

Návod k obsluze

The CADLive D80 is a dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power. Its supercardioid polar pattern is highly effective at rejecting sounds from the sides and rear, making it ideal for live sound reinforcement and studio recording where sound isolation is crucial.

  • Optimální použití: This microphone excels at capturing the rich, full sound of guitar amplifiers and the punch of percussion instruments. Its large diaphragm design contributes to a robust low-end response.
  • Efekt blízkosti: Like most directional microphones, the D80 exhibits a proximity effect, meaning bass response increases as the microphone is moved closer to the sound source. Utilize this effect to tailor the sound to your preference.
  • Kontrola zpětné vazby: Due to its supercardioid pattern, the D80 is less prone to feedback in live settings. Position stage monitors strategically to avoid pointing directly into the front of the microphone.

Údržba

  • Čištění: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the microphone body. For the grille, a soft brush can be used to gently remove dust or debris. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the microphone.
  • Skladování: When not in use, store the D80 in its protective pouch to shield it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Keep it in a cool, dry place.
  • Zacházení: Avoid dropping the microphone or subjecting it to harsh impacts, as this can damage the internal components and affect performance.
