Neither the diaphragm nor the backplate are permanently polarized, so the microphone needs an external power supply. Switchable preattenuation pad: The preattenuation switch (1) on the microphone rear lets you increase the headroom by 20dB for distortion-free close-in recording. The preattenuation pad prevents the microphone's output level, particularly at low frequencies, from overloading the miniature transformers used in many mixer input stages, etc.
