Connecting the CM-100
TheCM100canbeusedinliveorstudioalignment
applicatoinsorstudiorecording.Itmustbepoweredby
48Vphantompower(suchassuppliedbytheoptionalNady
SMPS-1phantompowersupplyoramixingconsole/alignment
deviceequippedwithphantompower),andampliedbya
microphonepre-amp(suchasbuiltintoamixer,orastand-
aloneunit).
Note: Make sure to set the pre-amp to the proper gain level—too much gain may
distort subsequent amplifiers and too little may result in a noisy signal)
TheCM100canbeconnectedtoyourmixerorphantom

someoneisclosemikedtobothprotectthemicrophoneand
toalsoeliminate“popping”soundsfrompercussivebreath
sounds.
Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high frequency
response of the microphone.
