User manual AKG C 400 BL-1

[. . . ] Thanks to their small dimensions, the microphones can be placed so as not to distract the speaker. The two microphones are acoustically identical and of the same dimensions. The C 400 BL is fitted with a threaded phantom power adapter with an integrated XLR connector. [. . . ] If you use more than one microphone, make sure to place the microphones about 10 feet (3 m) apart. Listen to the microphone at several different locations and install the microphone where it sounds best. 7, place the microphone near the front edge of the tabletop, as close as possible to the talker (the optimum talking distance would be 1 foot/30 cm), but taking care to leave enough space for documents. The acoustics of the conference room permitting, you may use one microphone for two delegates each. This reduces the number of microphones needed, noise due to pages being turned, the number of mixer inputs required, etc. In rooms with difficult acoustics, however, we recommend to use one microphone for each delegate. Repainting the Microphone If the microphone is too conspicuous at its final location, you may repaint it in the color of the surface it will be mounted on. Paint the microphone case in a wellventilated room and be sure to observe the instructions provided by the paint manufacturer. 9, use a screwdriver to carefully unsnap the circuit board carrying the microphone element. Paint the case in the desired color using acrylic paint or synthetic-resin enamel. Use the supplied screws to fix the installation plate at the desired location. Fixing the Microphone with Adhesive Tape If you do not want to drill holes into the supporting surface or only want to fix the microphone temporarily, attach the microphone with double-stick tape. Remove the protective film from the tape and press the microphone against the supporting surface at the desired location. Both the C 400 BL and C 400 BL-1 are condenser microphones and therefore need a power supply. The 7-foot (2-m) microphone cable is terminated with a phantom power adapter which you can connect directly to a balanced XLR microphone input. If your mixer or tape recorder provides phantom power, switch the phantom power on, referring to the appropriate section of your equipment manual. [. . . ] Using any power supplies not recommended by AKG may damage your microphone and voids the warranty.
