Installation:
Be sure to check the unit for damage before use. Use the original packaging or a suitable
transport or storage packaging to protect the product from dust, moisture, etc. when not in use.
Equipment and use:
This ½ diaphragm condenser microphone has a USB port and can therefore be connected to your
Mac or PC. It is a high-quality microphone with an integrated audio interface, so no additional
interface is required. Its technical and sound features make the CU2 the ideal microphone for film
dubbing, voice-over, multimedia applications, and home studio music productions. The driver
architecture is already integrated into Windows and OSX operating systems and no further
installation is required.
Commissioning:
All connections of the device should be made before switching on. Only use high-quality,
undamaged and as short cables as possible for the connections.
Directional characteristics:
Microphones have one or more directional characteristics in order to achieve better sound
recording results, depending on the application. Sound arriving at the basket and capsule from
certain angles can be erased, attenuated or not influenced at all. How strong or weak these
effects are depends on the microphone. The main characteristics are omnidirectional, eight and
club, while the cardioid, wide cardioid, supercardioid and hypercardioid characteristics are mixed.
Example application 1: Ball
Since the omnidirectional characteristic has no extinctions due to the design of the microphone,
sound from all directions can be picked up almost uniformly.
Example application 2: Cardioid
Sound hitting the rear is extinguished/dampened by the cardioid characteristic. The focus here is
on the direct signal.
