4. Instrukcja obsługi
4.1 Zalecane zastosowania
The LCT 040 Match is highly versatile and recommended for:
- Mic'ing drums (e.g., overheads, hi-hats, snare bottom).
- Acoustic guitar recording.
- Other acoustic instruments for both studio and live performance.
4.2 Umiejscowienie mikrofonu
Optimal microphone placement is crucial for achieving the best sound quality. Due to its sensitive nature and high SPL handling, experimentation with distance and angle is encouraged.
- Gitara akustyczna: For a balanced sound, try placing the microphone 12-18 inches from the instrument, aiming towards the area where the neck meets the body, or slightly in front of the bridge.
- Przeboje perkusyjne: Position the microphones (if using a matched pair) above the drum kit to capture the overall sound of the cymbals and drums. Common configurations include spaced pair or ORTF.
- Ogólne zastosowanie: The LCT 040 Match has a unidirectional (cardioid) polar pattern, meaning it primarily picks up sound from the front, reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. Aim the microphone directly at the sound source.

| Niechciany hałas lub buczenie | Ground loop; electromagnetic interference; environmental noise; faulty cable. | Check for ground loops in your audio setup. Ensure microphone cables are not running parallel to power cables. Minimize environmental noise. Test with a different XLR cable. The microphone is highly sensitive, so ensure your recording environment is quiet. |
