Organizować coś

Follow these steps to set up your LCT441Flex microphone:

1. Zamontuj uchwyt amortyzujący: Secure the LCT 40 SH shock mount to a microphone stand or boom arm. The shock mount helps to isolate the microphone from unwanted vibrations and handling noise.
2. Włóż mikrofon: Carefully insert the LCT441Flex microphone into the shock mount. Ensure it is firmly seated and oriented correctly with the 'FRONT' label facing the sound source.
3. Connect the Pop Filter: Attach the LCT 50 PSx magnetic pop filter to the front of the microphone. This reduces plosive sounds (like 'p' and 'b') for clearer vocal recordings.
4. Apply the Windscreen (Optional): For outdoor use or to further reduce wind noise, place the LCT 40 Wx windscreen over the microphone.
5. Podłącz do interfejsu audio: Use a high-quality 3-pin XLR cable to connect the microphone to an audio interface or mixer. The LCT441Flex requires 48V phantom power, which must be enabled on your audio interface.
