Configuració
1. Powering the Microphone
The BY-BM6060L can be powered in two ways:
- Alimentació phantom de 24-48V: Connect the microphone to a device (e.g., audio interface, mixer, professional recorder) that supplies 24V or 48V phantom power via an XLR cable. The microphone will draw power directly from the connected device.
- 1.5V AA Battery: If phantom power is not available, insert one 1.5V AA battery into the battery compartment located on the microphone body. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) when inserting the battery.
Figure 3: Battery Compartment. Insert a 1.5V AA battery for power when phantom power is not used.
2. Muntatge del micròfon
Attach the microphone to the included shock mount. The shock mount helps isolate the microphone from physical vibrations and handling noise, ensuring cleaner audio recordings. The shock mount can then be attached to a boom pole, camera shoe mount, or stand.
3. Connecting to a Recording Device
Connect the microphone's 3-pin XLR output to your recording device (e.g., camera, audio recorder, mixer, audio interface) using a standard XLR cable. Ensure the connection is secure.
Figure 4: 3-pin XLR Output. This is the standard professional audio output.
The BY-BM6060L is compatible with DSLRs that have a 3.5mm microphone socket, but this requires an appropriate XLR to 3.5mm audio cable (sold separately) and may require an adapter for phantom power if the camera does not supply it.
Figure 5: Compatibility. The microphone can be used with DSLRs (with appropriate cables) and professional audio interfaces/recorders.
4. Wind Protection
Use the provided foam windscreen or fur windshield to reduce wind noise during outdoor recordings or in environments with air movement.
- Parabrisa d'escuma: Suitable for indoor use or light breeze to reduce plosives and minor wind noise.
- Fur Windshield: Recommended for outdoor use in windy conditions to significantly reduce wind noise.
Figure 6: Wind Protection. Choose between the foam windscreen and fur windshield based on environmental conditions.
Instruccions de funcionament
1. Activating the Microphone
Once connected and powered (either via phantom power or AA battery), the power indicator light on the microphone will illuminate, indicating it is ready for use.
2. Using the High-Pass Filter
The BY-BM6060L features a switchable 150Hz high-pass filter. This filter helps to reduce low-frequency noise such as rumble, air conditioning hum, or traffic noise, which can often degrade audio quality. To activate the filter, slide the switch to the "150Hz" position. For full-range audio capture, set the switch to the "Flat" position.
Figure 7: High-Pass Filter Switch. Use to cut low-frequency noise at 150Hz.
3. Optimizing Sound Capture with Super-Cardioid Pattern
The microphone utilizes a super-cardioid polar pattern, which is highly directional. This means it primarily picks up sound from directly in front of the microphone, significantly reducing sound from the sides and rear. For best results, always point the microphone directly at your desired sound source.
Figure 8: Super-Cardioid Polar Pattern. Demonstrates the directional pickup pattern, focusing on the sound source directly in front.
4. Escenaris d'aplicació
The BY-BM6060L is versatile and suitable for a wide range of professional audio recording applications:
- Filmmaking: Capturing dialogue and ambient sound on set.
- Interviews: Clear voice recording for one-on-one or group interviews.
- Documentals: Capturing authentic audio in various environments.
- Electronic News Gathering (ENG): On-location reporting and news coverage.
- Transmissió en directe: Enhancing audio quality for broadcasts.
- Studio Use: Professional voiceovers and instrument recording.

Manteniment
- Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone body. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the microphone in its provided zipper bag to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Bateria: If using AA batteries, remove them when the microphone will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage and damage.
- Manipulació: Manipuleu el micròfon amb cura. Eviteu deixar-lo caure ni exposar-lo a temperatures o humitat extremes.
Resolució de problemes
- Sense sortida de so:
- Check if the microphone is properly connected to your recording device via the XLR cable.
- Ensure phantom power is enabled on your recording device, or that a fresh AA battery is correctly inserted.
- Verify that the input level on your recording device is set appropriately and not muted.
- Test with a different XLR cable if possible.
- So distorsionat o de baixa qualitat:
- Assegureu-vos que el micròfon estigui apuntat directament a la font de so.
- Comproveu si hi ha guanys adequatstaging on your recording device to avoid clipping (too high input) or excessive noise (too low input).
- If recording outdoors or in windy conditions, ensure the foam windscreen or fur windshield is properly installed.
- If experiencing low-frequency rumble, activate the 150Hz high-pass filter.
- Microphone Not Recognized by Device:
- Confirm that your recording device supports XLR input and phantom power (if using it).
- If connecting to a DSLR, ensure you are using the correct XLR to 3.5mm adapter cable and that the camera's external mic input is enabled.
