Operating theCL5 Powering the CL5 The CL5 is a condenser microphone and therefore needs to be operated by connecting a phantom power supply. Phantom power is standard on most quality mixers, outboard mic-pres and hard disk recorders. If necessary, an external phantom supply (like the S phantom by Samson Audio) can also be used. The CL5 receives the phantom power directly from a mic cable when connected to a mixer or other microphone input that includes a phantom supply. The power is actua

Operating the CL5 CL5 Polar Characteristics Every microphone has a characteristic polar pattern that determines how well it accepts or rejects signal coming from various areas around the microphone. For exam- ple, bi-directional or figure-eight microphones pick up directly from the front and back while rejecting the signal at the sides and omnidirectional microphones accept all signals regardless of where those signals originate (in front of the mic, behind it, to the side, etc.). In contra
