מדריך למשתמש למיקרופון קולי דינמי אקטיבי Austrian Audio OD505

1. הקדמה

Thank you for choosing the Austrian Audio OD505 Active Dynamic Vocal Microphone. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your microphone. The OD505 is engineered to deliver exceptional vocal performance in live and studio environments, combining the robustness of a dynamic microphone with the clarity of an active design.

Key features of the OD505 include:

• State-of-the-art dual-capsule design for noise immunity against handling and stage impacts.
• Supercardioid polar pattern for high isolation and feedback reduction.
• Active circuitry ensuring consistent sound performance regardless of preamplifier impedance or cable length.
• Proprietary 3D Pop Noise Diffuser to minimize plosives.
• Rugged die-cast body for durability in demanding live settings.

3. התקנה

1. הרכבת המיקרופון: Securely attach the OD505 microphone to a standard microphone stand using the provided microphone clip. Ensure the clip is tightened sufficiently to hold the microphone in place.
2. חיבור לציוד שמע: Use a balanced XLR cable to connect the OD505's XLR output to an input on your mixing console, audio interface, or preampחיים יותר.
3. כוח פאנטום: The OD505 is an active dynamic microphone and requires 48V phantom power for operation. Activate the 48V phantom power on the connected input channel of your audio equipment. The microphone will not function without phantom power.
4. מיקום: Position the microphone appropriately for your vocal source. Due to its supercardioid polar pattern, the microphone is most sensitive directly in front of the grille and rejects sound from the sides and rear.

4.1. Polar Pattern and Off-Axis Rejection

The OD505 features a supercardioid polar pattern, which provides excellent isolation of the sound source and high feedback rejection. This makes it ideal for live stage performances where minimizing bleed from other instruments or stage monitors is crucial. Ensure the microphone is pointed directly at the sound source for optimal pickup.

4.2. High-Pass Filter

The microphone is equipped with a selectable 2nd order high-pass filter at 120 Hz. This filter helps to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble, handling noise, and proximity effect, resulting in a cleaner and more focused vocal sound. To engage the filter, locate the small switch on the microphone body and slide it to the "120 Hz" position. For a full-range response, set the switch to the "flat" position.

4.3. Active Circuitry

The active circuitry of the OD505 ensures a consistent output level and frequency response, regardless of the input impedance of the connected preamplifier or the length of the XLR cable. This provides reliable performance across various audio setups.

4.4. 3D Pop Noise Diffuser

The integrated 3D Pop Noise Diffuser is designed to effectively reduce plosive sounds (e.g., "p" and "b" sounds) that can occur during close-mic vocal performances. While this feature significantly mitigates plosives, using an external pop filter may still be beneficial for extreme cases or specific vocal techniques.

5. תחזוקה

• ניקוי: To clean the microphone body, use a soft, dry cloth. For the grille, a soft brush can be used to gently remove dust or debris. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the microphone, especially near the grille or connectors.
• אִחסוּן: When not in use, store the OD505 in its protective carrying case to shield it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Avoid storing the microphone in extreme temperatures or high humidity.
• טיפול: While the OD505 features a rugged design, avoid dropping the microphone or subjecting it to excessive force, as this can damage internal components.

6. פתרון תקלות

• אין פלט קול:
  • Ensure 48V phantom power is activated on the connected input channel.
  • בדוק את כל חיבורי כבל ה-XLR כדי לוודא שהם תקינים ומחוברים כראוי.
  • Verify that the input gain on your mixing console or interface is set appropriately.
• רעש טיפול מוגזם:
  • While the OD505 is designed to minimize handling noise, some noise can still occur. Ensure you are holding the microphone firmly but not gripping it excessively.
  • Consider using a high-quality microphone stand and shock mount if handling noise persists, especially for stationary use.
• צלילים מתפרצים (פופים):
  • Although the 3D Pop Noise Diffuser is integrated, some plosives may still be audible, particularly with close vocal techniques.
  • נסה להגדילasing the distance between your mouth and the microphone.
  • Utilize an external pop filter for additional plosive reduction.
• בעיות משוב:
  • Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly, pointing directly at the sound source and away from loudspeakers or monitors.
  • Utilize the 120 Hz high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency feedback.
  • התאם את ההגברtaging on your mixing console to prevent excessive input levels.
