[. . . ] NADY CM SERIES USER GUIDE CM 100 Condenser Measurement Microphone Congratulations on purchasing the Nady CM 100 ultra linear classic diaphragm electret condenser microphone. [. . . ] Always use a foam windscreen if you talk or sing close to the microphone grill screen. USING THE FOAM WINDSCREEN The CM 100 is supplied with a foam windscreen (FW-1/100). This windscreen fits over the grill portion of the microphone and is designed primarily to decrease bass rumble (from wind noise pickup) during outdoor live or recording use. The FW-1 or other windscreen should be used whenever someone is close miked to both protect the microphone and to also eliminate "popping" sounds from percussive breath sounds. (Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high frequency response of the microphone. CONNECTING THE CM 100 The CM 100 can be used in live or studio alignment applicatoins or studio recording. It must be powered by 48V phantom power (such as supplied by the optional Nady SMPS-1 phantom power supply or a mixing console/alignment device equipped with phantom power), and amplified by a microphone pre-amp (such as built into a mixer, or a stand-alone unit). (Note: Make sure to set the pre-amp to the proper gain level--too much gain may distort subsequent amplifiers and too little may result in a noisy signal) The CM 100 can be connected to your mixer or phantom power supply using a standard balanced 3-pin XLR microphone cable. Before connecting to a mixer directly, turn the channel to which you're connecting to its lowest gain setting. If you are using the Nady SMPS-1 Phantom Power Supply, connect in the following order: 1. [. . . ] Connector . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
