FEATURES & OPERATION

Congratulations on purchasing the Nady CM-2S Stereo Condenser Microphone. This superior, versatile microphone provides the realistic spatial impact of a live sound field for many applications including stereo recording, ENG theater use, and FM stereo radio.

The CM-2S uses a pair of closely-matched, wide range, condenser uni-directional (cardioid) elements, angled at 110° in an X/Y stereo configuration. It features superb channel separation; smooth, linear 30Hz-20kHz frequency response with a switchable low-frequency roll-off; On/Off switch, high SPL capability; extended dynamic range with ultra-low self noise; crisp, clear transparent audio; and internal battery operation. All this contained in a compact, lightweight design.

The CM-2S has two unbalanced, in-phase, low impedance stereo outputs. The Left(+) signal is sent to Pin 2 and the Right(+) signal is sent to Pin 3. Both Left and Right use a common Ground(-) connection on Pin 1. Use the 19" stereo cable to connect to 3.5mm stereo inputs or the 10’cable to connect to two channels of your mixing console or recording equipment.

Placing the mic closer to the sound source will create a more pronounced stereo image while moving the mic further away will lessen the stereo image and result in more room noise. Placing a mic too close to a multi-voice source may result is some voices being more dominant than others. Experiment with placement for the best possible results. Use the low-cut filter switch to reduce stage floor noise and undesired low frequencies.

Before operating, install an alkaline or mercury AA battery by unscrewing, and sliding down, the lower portion of the handle to reveal the battery compartment. The CM-2S is only designed for battery use.DANGER: DO NOT USE PHANTOM POWER WITH THE CM-2S OR YOU COULD DAMAGE THE MICROPHONE.

Note: Low bias voltages (such as those used for mini-disc, DAT, or analog recorders) will not harm the microphone.Using the foam windscreen:

The foam windscreen, supplied with the CM-2S, 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. It is also useful in keeping mouth spray out of the microphone head. (Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high frequency response of the microphone.)

(WARNING: The capsule is the heart of the condenser microphone. If the elements becomes dirty or wet, the sound will be degraded.

Never spray any liquid on the microphone head. Always use a foam windscreen or pop filter if you talk or sing close to the microphone grill screen.)
