User manual JOEMEEK JM37

[. . . ] Origins and Manufacture The Joemeek JM37 Series is manufactured under the supervision of PMI Audio. All mics are tested for quality control. Warranty The JM37 Series is warranted from defects for a period of 1 year, parts and labor. The JM37 Series meets all requirements for electronic equipment in all countries of export JM37 JM37DP PMI Audio Group USA: 1845 W. [. . . ] The capacitor membrane is micro fine Mylar with gold sputtering, voltage polarized by phantom power. The microphone body is made of machined brass; Connection is via screened balanced audio cable with 3 pin XLR connectors, sound volume levels so they can be used safely close to musical instrument amplifiers. Close miking of instrument cabinets often sounds best, so it is good to take advantage of the JM37 high dynamic capability in these situations. It is also a very low noise microphone and suitable for low level or distant miked instrument recording. For voice recording, avoid singing directly into the capsule unless an efficient pop shield is used. Sing about two to six inches from the front face of the microphone. Problems Should the microphone accidentally become damp and fail to operate properly (start crackling, or go very quiet) then place it in a warm and very dry environment for 24 hours. The ideal environment is an airing cupboard, or under a 100 watt light bulb for a couple of hours. If the microphone fails to work after being dropped, it should be returned in adequate packing to the supplier. A double test and inspection system means that manufacturing faults are almost unknown but should any fault occur, it will be repaired (or replaced) free of charge excepting where the fault has been caused by physical damage. the microphone is CARDIOID for the JM37, and the JM37-DP has two patterns, both CARDIOID and OMNI; CARDIOID means that it is much more sensitive to sounds from the front than from the rear, and OMI picks up all around the capsule. It is important to remember this when miking up instruments that project sound from different parts; i. e. The mic placement will affect the sound quite a bit, so do plenty of experimenting before a take. Remember that different areas of an instrument often produce very different sounds. Instrument miking is a highly creative business and a good technique can make all the difference to the final mix. Once again, do plenty of takes, and don't be afraid to experiment with the patterns on the JM37-DP. The JM37 Series is an extremely capable recording tool: used properly, professional results will be achieved. Pre amplification is also important to improve the microphone's sounds. [. . . ] The JM37 Series are capable of handling high Specification Frequency Response Sensitivity 25Hz-20KHz Sensitivity 16mV/Pa-40+/-2dB (0dB= 1 V/Pa 1000Hz) Polar pattern JM37 Cardioid JM37-DP Cardioid and OMNI with Selectable PAD Impedance 200 ohms Equivalent noise level 19dB (A Weighted) Max SPL for O. 5% THD@1OOOHz 128dB Power Requirement 48V Connecting Up Using a high quality balanced and screened audio cable, connect the microphone head to the microphone amplifier input and switch on the 48V phantom power. NOTE: the microphone will not operate unless 48V phantom power is provided. A few seconds is often needed for the microphone to reach optimal performance, but be sure to have all audio levels off for the fist 30 seconds during power up. arranty Using the JM37 The JM37 Series gives a very true sound, meaning that the quality of a recording will depend on microphone placement, and of course, the performer and the surroundings.
