• Overload indicator light to prevent signal clipping.

5. Einrichtung

5.1. Stromanschluss

1. Connect the provided DC power cable to the DC 5V-12V input port on the rear of the MIC-60 unit.
2. Connect the other end of the DC cable to a reliable DC5V-12V power source, such as a power bank or a high-quality mobile phone charger. Using a poor quality power supply may introduce AC noise.

5.2. Mikrofoneingang

1. Verbinden Sie Ihr Mikrofon mit dem MIC IN port on the front panel. This port supports both XLR and 6.5mm (1/4 inch) connections.
2. If using a condenser microphone, ensure the +48V phantom power switch is engaged. For dynamic microphones, keep the +48V switch off.

5.3. Audioausgang

The MIC-60 offers three output options:

• XLR-Ausgang: For balanced audio connection to mixers, audio interfaces, or powered speakers.
• 6.5mm (1/4 inch) Output: Für unsymmetrische Audioverbindungen zu ampVerstärker, Mischpulte oder andere Audiogeräte.
• 3.5mm (1/8 inch) Output: For connecting to headphones or consumer-grade audio devices.

Connect the appropriate output port to your desired audio receiving device.

6. Bedienungsanleitung

6.1. Ein-/Ausschalten

Drücken Sie die rote EIN-/AUSSCHALTEN button on the front panel to turn the unit on or off. The power indicator light will illuminate when the unit is on.

6.2. Gain Adjustment (LEVEL Knob)

Der EBENE knob controls the overall amplification gain of the microphone signal, up to 60dB. Start with the knob at a low setting and gradually increase it to achieve the desired volume without distortion.

6.3. Equalizer Adjustment (HIGH, MID, LOW Knobs)

Verwenden Sie die HOCH, MITTE, Und NIEDRIG knobs to adjust the frequency response of your microphone signal. Each band offers a ±15dB adjustment range:

• HOCH: Adjusts the treble frequencies for clarity and brightness.
• MITTE: Adjusts the mid-range frequencies for vocal presence and instrument body.
• NIEDRIG: Adjusts the bass frequencies for warmth and fullness.

6.4. Low-Cut Switch

Aktivieren Sie die TIEF GESCHNITTEN switch to attenuate frequencies below 80Hz. This helps to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise such as rumble, handling noise, or plosives (microphone pops), improving the clarity of speech and vocals.

6.5. Überlastungsanzeige

The overload indicator light illuminates when the input signal is too strong, indicating potential clipping or distortion. If this light stays on or blinks frequently, reduce the EBENE (gain) knob until the light only blinks occasionally or remains off during normal operation.

6.6. +48V Phantom Power

Der +48V switch provides phantom power for condenser microphones that require it. Ensure this switch is ON for condenser microphones and AUS for dynamic microphones to prevent damage to dynamic microphones.

7. Wartung
