4. Упутство за употребу

The E100SX features two important switches for sound control:

• Hi-Pass Filter (100 Hz): This switch activates a low-cut filter at 100 Hz. Engage this filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble, stage noise, or proximity effect when close-miking. This helps to clean up the low end of your recordings.
• Pad (10 dB): The 10 dB pad attenuates the input signal by 10 decibels. Engage this switch when recording very loud sound sources (e.g., drums, loud guitar amplifiers) to prevent overloading the microphone's capsule or your preampдопринос корисника за спасавање.

Поларни узорак: The E100SX utilizes a supercardioid polar pattern. This pattern offers a tight pickup area directly in front of the microphone, providing excellent isolation from sounds originating from the sides and rear. This is beneficial for minimizing bleed from other instruments in a live setting or untreated room, and for focusing on a single sound source.
