microphones of equal sensitivity, the
BALANCE knob should normally be at
or near its center setting. If micro phones
of unequal sensitivity are used, the
BALANCE control should be set so as
to compensate for as much as possible
of the difference; otherwise the
WIDTH control may not offer a useful
range of settings.

The BALANCE control is calibrated to
the sensitivity of Schoeps microphones,
with a cardioid as the “M” channel
microphone of reference. When using a
Schoeps super-cardioid for the “M”
channel, the default setting of the
BALANCE control would be 2 dB to
the left of the normal center setting.
