FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - PRO-D5 KIT Rockville

Comment brancher le microphone PRO-D5 KIT ?

Branchez le câble XLR inclus à la prise XLR du microphone et l'autre extrémité à votre console ou interface audio. Aucune alimentation fantôme n'est nécessaire car il s'agit d'un microphone dynamique.

Mon microphone ne produit aucun son, que faire ?

Vérifiez d'abord que le câble XLR est correctement connecté. Assurez-vous que la console ou l'interface audio est allumée et que le canal est ouvert. Testez avec un autre câble pour exclure un défaut de câble.

Puis-je utiliser ce microphone avec une alimentation fantôme ?

Oui, les microphones dynamiques comme le PRO-D5 peuvent supporter l'alimentation fantôme (48V) sans dommage, mais ils n'en ont pas besoin. Il est recommandé de couper l'alimentation fantôme si vous utilisez un microphone dynamique pour éviter tout bruit.

Comment éviter les effets Larsen (feedback) ?

Placez le microphone à au moins 1 mètre des enceintes et orientez la capsule face à la source sonore. Utilisez la directivité cardioïde pour réduire la captation des sons arrière. Baissez le gain si nécessaire.

Comment nettoyer le microphone ?

Utilisez un chiffon doux et sec pour essuyer la grille et le corps. Pour une désinfection occasionnelle, un chiffon légèrement humide avec de l'alcool isopropylique peut être utilisé, mais évitez tout liquide pénétrant dans la capsule.

Le câble XLR fourni a-t-il une longueur standard ?

Le kit inclut un câble XLR de 3 mètres environ. Si vous avez besoin d'une plus grande distance, utilisez une rallonge XLR de qualité.

Puis-je fixer le microphone sur un pied standard ?

Oui, le kit comprend un adaptateur de pied permettant de visser le microphone sur n'importe quel pied de micro standard avec filetage 5/8" (américain) ou 3/8" (européen) grâce à l'adaptateur inclus.

Quelle est la polarité du connecteur XLR ?

Le microphone respecte la norme AES : broche 1 = masse, broche 2 = chaud (+), broche 3 = froid (-). Vérifiez la compatibilité avec votre câblage si vous fabriquez vos propres câbles.

Le microphone peut-il être utilisé pour des instruments ?

Oui, avec sa réponse en fréquence étendue et sa directivité cardioïde, il convient parfaitement pour l'amplification de guitare, batterie, etc. Utilisez un support adapté.

Comment stocker le microphone à long terme ?

Rangez-le dans un endroit sec à température ambiante, de préférence dans son emballage d'origine ou une housse protectrice. Évitez l'humidité et les températures extrêmes qui pourraient endommager la capsule.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never drop the microphones or subject them to extreme shock.
  • Always store the mics in their padded case to protect them during transport.
• Avoid exposing the microphones to extremely high temperatures and humidity.
• Avoid leaving the microphones in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
• Avoid getting the microphones wet.
• If the microphones are used in a high-moisture application, such as an outdoor performance, wipe off the microphones with a dry cloth and permit them to air dry. Do not store the mics until all moisture has evaporated.

Set-Up

Clamp Description:

Attaching the Clamps and Microphones:

1. Use the microphone clips (included) to attach the mics to the drums. Place the lower portion of the clamp under the rim of the drum (fig. a). After securing the lower portion of the clamp under the rim, lift the clamp until the groove in the upper portion clicks onto the top edge of the rim (fig. b).

1. Attach the mic to the clamp by screwing the adjustable base onto the adapter (fig. c).

1. To adjust the angle of the mic, loosen the knob and tilt the mic to the desired position (fig. d). To secure the mic in the current position, turn the knob clockwise to tighten it (fig. e).

1. To adjust the position of the mic, loosen the thumbscrew and slide the mic to the desired position (fig. f). Once the mic is in position, tighten the thumbscrew (fig. g). Do not over-tighten.

Set-Up (continued)

Positioning the Mics:

The microphones included in the PRO-D5 kit have cardioid pick up patterns so that they pick up sound directly in front of the microphones and reject the sound behind them. This means that in order to avoid picking up ambient sound, the microphones should be set so that they are facing away from cymbals or other drums.

Microphones, but especially uni-directional or cardioid microphones, exhibit the “proximity effect.” It is defined as a change in the microphone’s frequency response based on it’s position relative to the sound source. Any adjustments of the microphone’s position or angle can make a difference in the sound quality. When you point a cardioid mic directly at the sound source (also known as “on axis”) you will get the best frequency response. Pointing the microphone slightly away or off axis, will cause the low frequency response to drop off and it will sound thinner. Please note that directional microphones progressively boost bass frequencies as the microphone is placed in closer proximity to the source. This can result in a warmer and more “boomy” sound.

1. Tom Drums:

• Place microphones near the rim, approximately 1 to 4 inches above the drums.
• For a deeper sound, the mic should be pointed towards the middle of the head. Aim the mics closer to the edge of the head to capture more overtones.

2. Snare Drums:

• Place the microphone near the rim, approximately 1 to 4 inches above the drum.
• To capture more "stick attack", aim the microphones towards the middle of the head. Aim the mics closer to the edge of the head to capture more overtones.
• Pointing the rear side of the microphone towards the hi-hat will help to reduce cymbal noise in the snare drum signal.

3. Kick Drums:

• The microphone should be placed in front of the kick drum.
- If there is a hole in the resonant head, place the microphone inside the hole for better isolation.
- For increased attack, remove the resonant head and place the microphone closer to the beater head.
- Placing a pillow inside the kick drum will reduce the sustain and overtones for a more focused attack.

Wiring the Mics:

These microphones feature a 3-pin XLR connector to connect to any mixer, audio-interface, or mic pre-amp. Using a standard XLR cable (not included), connect the female end to the microphone's connector and the male end to appropriate port on the sound processing device. Some devices use 1/4 inputs, in this instance you will require a female XLR to 1/4 cable.

Room Acoustics:

An appropriate recording space is the key to achieving great results when recording drums. These mics will pick up the sound of the recording space to a degree, so its a good idea to ensure you have acoustic room treatment on the walls and ceiling above the drums to avoid room reflections and minimize phasing issues.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
No sound or faint sound	1. Verify all sound system connections.2. Check the volume levels of your sound processing device.3. Make sure the mics are not positioned too far from the sound source.
Rattling or cracking sounds	This may be caused by moisture in the microphone. If moisture is found inside the microphone, allow it to dry at room temperature. Avoid using the mic in hot, humid environments and avoid contact with liquids.
Feedback	1. Move the microphones away from nearby speakers.2. Place the microphones behind speakers.3. Change the microphones' orientation so that they are not pointed directly at any speaker.
Inconsistent mic signal	1. Make sure the mics are properly connected.2. Make sure the cables are not damaged.3. Check the requirements of the sound processing device and make sure you are using the appropriate cable.
Distortion or noise	1. Make sure you are using windscreens (included).2. Point the mic away from cymbals, other drums, and nearby speakers.
