Zvikamu Zvikuru:

Maikorofoni Grille: Protects the microphone capsule and includes an integrated spherical wind and pop noise filter.
Muviri wemakrofoni: The main housing of the microphone, designed for handheld use.

Gadzirira

Connect to an Audio Interface/Mixer: The Behringer SL 84C uses a standard three-pin XLR connector. Connect an XLR cable (not included) from the microphone to an available XLR input on your audio interface, mixer, or compatible recording device.
Secure the Microphone:
- For handheld use, ensure a firm grip on the microphone body.
- For stand-mounted use, attach the included microphone stand adapter to a standard microphone stand. Then, securely insert the SL 84C microphone into the adapter.
Positioning: Position the microphone directly in front of the sound source (e.g., vocalist's mouth) for optimal sound capture. Due to its unidirectional (cardioid) polar pattern, the microphone primarily picks up sound from the front, minimizing background noise.
Gain Adjustment: Adjust the input gain on your audio interface or mixer to achieve an appropriate signal level. Avoid setting the gain too high, which can lead to distortion, or too low, which can result in a weak signal and increased noise.

Note: This dynamic microphone does not require phantom power. Connecting it to a device supplying phantom power will not damage the microphone.

Operating Instruction

The Behringer SL 84C is designed for straightforward operation. Follow these guidelines for best results:

Speaking/Singing Distance: For a full and rich sound, speak or sing directly into the front of the microphone grille, typically 2-6 inches away. Closer proximity will enhance bass frequencies (proximity effect).
Kubata Noise: While the microphone has some internal shock mounting, excessive handling can introduce noise. For critical applications, using a microphone stand is recommended to minimize handling noise.
Pop Sefa Kushandiswa: The integrated spherical wind and pop noise filter helps reduce plosive sounds (like 'p' and 'b'). For podcasting or close-up vocal work, an external pop filter can be added for further plosive reduction.
Monitoring: Use headphones connected to your audio interface or mixer to monitor your sound in real-time and ensure optimal audio quality.
