to anyone who will respond to this cry of help:
just to preface, i am a college student with very little experience with recording equipment. i sing in an a cappella group and the college gave us money to buy recording microphones. we bought one of each, CADe100 and CADe300 (they came in a set).
Overlying questions, how do i operate them?
i charged them with a 48V phantom power source and we have a mixer, but what exactly do each of the options (buttons on the front) do? this question pertains only to the e300. i understand the three different polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure 8) but what about hi-pass vs. lo-pass?
we were quite ambitious to buy microphones a little too complicated for us to understand. any answers are greatly welcomed.

Dec 03, 2005 05:43 am Hi pass (Lo Cut) lets high frequencies pass and can be used to remove Low Freq rumble (mic stand vibrations, cars on the road through the wall, plossives etc.) as dB said. Lo pass filters do exatcly the opposite, and can be used when recording kick drums and such to remove High Freq. noise like snare drum rattling. For voice its probably best to leave everything off and record with a cardiod pattern. This gives you greater flexibility in the mixing stage.
