DAPAudio RM-101, User Manual

7 

Set Up and Operation

 
It is always advisable to use a pop filter (not included) when recording vocals, not only to avoid overly 
accentuated „S, „P‟ and „B‟ sounds, but also to keep moisture (spit) from the element. It is always a good 
idea that the microphone is kept in its case when not in use. 
 
Set all volume and gain controls on your mixer, mic preamp or recording device are at their minimum 
settings before connecting the microphone. 

Make sure, the phantom power is off! 

 
Once the RM-101 is plugged in, move the channel fader gradually to the 0dB position adjust the input 
gain using your channel peak led or VU-meter.

Connection Cables

 
Take care of the connector cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and 
twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability, which is always to 
your advantage. 
Periodically check that your cables are in good condition, that they are correctly wired and that all their 
contacts are in good condition: a great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, 
etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
