5. Fa'atonuga o Galuega
The Beyerdynamic M 201 is a passive dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power. It is ready for use once connected to an appropriate input.
- Maua Stagi: Adjust the gain on your mixer or audio interface to achieve an optimal signal level without clipping.
- Aafiaga latalata: Be aware of the proximity effect, where bass frequencies are accentuated when the microphone is close to the sound source. Adjust positioning as needed for desired tonal balance.
- Off-Axis Rejection: Utilize the hypercardioid pattern by aiming the microphone directly at the desired sound source and positioning unwanted sound sources in the null points (sides) of the microphone.
6. Tausia ma Tausiga
- Fa'amamaina: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone body. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Fa'amama kaila: If the microphone grille becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the microphone capsule.
- Teuina: When not in use, store the microphone in its provided carrying case to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Aloese mai Mata'u: While robust, avoid dropping the microphone as this can damage internal components.
