TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS cont...
Shockmount Looks As If It Should Fit On Mic Stand, But For Some Reason, It
Will not Screw On:
There are two standard thread sizes for mic stands, 5/8-27 and 3/8-16. Studio Projects shock-
mounts ship with a brass reducer installed, which allows for the 3/8-16 threads. For use with 5/8-
27 mic stand threads, unscrew adapter from shockmount, using a small coin as a screwdriver.
Keep track of adapter when not in use – you never know when you may need it…
ORIGINS AND MANUFACTURE
Studio Projects Microphones are manufactured in Beijing, China by 797 Audio to a speci-
fication defined by Studio Projects, Gardena, California. All Studio Projects microphones
are inspected and tested at the factory, then inspected and tested again at PMI Audio
Groups facility prior to shipping. Studio Projects microphones meet the require-
ments of electronic equipment sold both in the USA, Canada, and the European Union.
APPLICATIONS
• Close miking of instruments with high sound pressure levels
• Announcer’s mic for broadcasting/dubbing
• Home recording and project studios
• Vocalist recording
• Spot mic for: wind instruments, strings, percussion and guitar amps.
• XY - Coincident Cardioids
• Mid-Side Method
• Stereosonic Technique (Blumlein)
• Overheads

C1
The Studio Projects C1 is an externally polarized cardioid pressure gradient
transducer microphone with FET impedance converter. Diaphragm material
is 6µm mylar for natural reproduction of vocals and instruments. It features
dual selectable pads and high pass filters for a total of nine possible modes
of operation. The output circuitry is active and is capable of driving long cable
runs. The C1 is useful for all manner of recording work and music styles.
