The microphone

The DM-35 is special designed for mic-ing guitar amps. Due to the high SPL capacity and flat pop screen design it can be used for close mic-ing instrument amplifiers. It is suitable for guitar and bass guitar amplifiers.

Set Up and Operation

Set all volume and gain controls on your mixer, mic preamp or recording device at their minimum settings before connecting the microphone. Make sure, the phantom power is off!

Once the DM-35 is plugged in, move the channel fader gradually to the 0dB position adjust the input gain using your channel peak led or VU-meter.

Make sure, the microphone is aimed towards the speaker with the frontside (silver).

Position the microphone exactly in the middle between the edge of the dustcap and the edge of the speaker as drawn in figure 3.

Once positioned use your ears to find the optimum position. Moving the microphone in the direction of the dustcap will increase the brilliance of the signal. Moving the microphone towards the edge of the speaker will decrease the brilliance, the sound will become warmer.

Connection Cables

Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability.

Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
