4. HOW TO USE YOUR XM1800S MOST EFFECTIVELY
Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that the peak LED lights
up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should be set to
mid-travel position to start with; low-cut filter and level attenuator should be turned off. Try to achieve
the desired sound by experimenting with the microphone position. Place the microphone as close to
the sound source as possible. The closer your mic gets to the sound source, the greater the bass
response will be. On the other hand, as you move the sound source further away from the microphone,
the bass response will gradually roll off (please see frequency response chart on next page).
Only when the desired basic sound has been achieved, should you start to use equalizers and
signal processors, if any at all. (Remember: less is often more!)
All microphones have characteristic polar patterns that determine how well signals from around the
area of the microphone are accepted or rejected.
The super cardioid pattern is used by the XM1800S. Thus, the XM1800S excels in environments
where a lot of undesired ambient noise exists. The XM1800S excellently reproduces those sound
signals originated directly in front of the microphone while rejecting or minimizing sound signals
originated in the area behind the microphone (please refer to the polar pattern on next page for
detailed information).
