Ciao a tutti,
My system
Microphone Gefell UM 70S → Preamp Mercury M76m → Studio Konnekt 48 (Tc Electronic→ TC near → Logic 9 on Imac).
I would like to understand..for not to make twice the same errors :o
To test the microphone I switch on the Preamp 1h and plug the UM70 on
Cardioid ( file cardio.onmi.eight). The shape was great (1st dark blue)
Then I move the microphone button on the Omni (O) and there was immediately a signal that appeared as the Light blue shape on logic and that reached a level of about – 24 db flashing. The phenomenon occurred in alternation on both the TC Itself and on The soft TC Near. ( zero level – zero level) (file Cardio, omni, eight) and when I went back on the cardio the wave was similar (file Eight Cardio).
This signal continued to persist even when I turned of the phantom power.
Same applies with the position on (OO) and again ON cardioid….
I’ve tried this with 3 new cables !
Then I’ve tried and tried…The only thing that I haven’t done is to set the Pot of the preamp gain and the Phantom power at zero before making the microphone selection ?:confused:
I did later on and it seems that this phenomena occurred a little with the (OO) microphone position…until I reduced gain:(
At the beginning at all steps Gain level was set between was 36-48, level noon-one and level attenuation at noon..
Turning pot of attenuation or level din not have had any influence…
Any information on how to fix it will be more than welcome…
I would also appreciate if someone could tell me the steps to do before changing a microphone setting from cardiod, O, and OO without any damage risk..:eek:
:confused:
Ciao a tutti and thanks again for your kind reply and attention
