Organizować coś

1. Powering the Microphone

The BY-BM6060L can be powered in two ways:

• Zasilanie fantomowe 24–48 V: Connect the microphone to a device (e.g., audio interface, mixer, professional recorder) that supplies 24V or 48V phantom power via an XLR cable. The microphone will draw power directly from the connected device.
• 1.5V AA Battery: If phantom power is not available, insert one 1.5V AA battery into the battery compartment located on the microphone body. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) when inserting the battery.

Figure 3: Battery Compartment. Insert a 1.5V AA battery for power when phantom power is not used.

2. Montaż mikrofonu

Attach the microphone to the included shock mount. The shock mount helps isolate the microphone from physical vibrations and handling noise, ensuring cleaner audio recordings. The shock mount can then be attached to a boom pole, camera shoe mount, or stand.

3. Podłączanie do urządzenia rejestrującego

Connect the microphone's 3-pin XLR output to your recording device (e.g., camera, audio recorder, mixer, audio interface) using a standard XLR cable. Ensure the connection is secure.

Figure 4: 3-pin XLR Output. This is the standard professional audio output.

The BY-BM6060L is compatible with DSLRs that have a 3.5mm microphone socket, but this requires an appropriate XLR to 3.5mm audio cable (sold separately) and may require an adapter for phantom power if the camera does not supply it.

Figure 5: Compatibility. The microphone can be used with DSLRs (with appropriate cables) and professional audio interfaces/recorders.

4. Wind Protection

Use the provided foam windscreen or fur windshield to reduce wind noise during outdoor recordings or in environments with air movement.

• Piankowa szyba przednia: Suitable for indoor use or light breeze to reduce plosives and minor wind noise.
• Fur Windshield: Recommended for outdoor use in windy conditions to significantly reduce wind noise.

Instrukcja obsługi

1. Activating the Microphone

Once connected and powered (either via phantom power or AA battery), the power indicator light on the microphone will illuminate, indicating it is ready for use.

2. Korzystanie z filtra górnoprzepustowego

The BY-BM6060L features a switchable 150Hz high-pass filter. This filter helps to reduce low-frequency noise such as rumble, air conditioning hum, or traffic noise, which can often degrade audio quality. To activate the filter, slide the switch to the "150Hz" position. For full-range audio capture, set the switch to the "Flat" position.

Figure 7: High-Pass Filter Switch. Use to cut low-frequency noise at 150Hz.

3. Optimizing Sound Capture with Super-Cardioid Pattern

The microphone utilizes a super-cardioid polar pattern, which is highly directional. This means it primarily picks up sound from directly in front of the microphone, significantly reducing sound from the sides and rear. For best results, always point the microphone directly at your desired sound source.

Figure 8: Super-Cardioid Polar Pattern. Demonstrates the directional pickup pattern, focusing on the sound source directly in front.

4. Scenariusze zastosowań
