Funcionament del micròfon
Patrons polars
The TF47 microphone offers three selectable polar patterns, allowing for versatility in various recording situations. The polar pattern selector is located on the power supply unit.
- Unidirectional (Cardioid): This pattern picks up sound primarily from the front of the microphone, rejecting sound from the sides and rear. Ideal for isolating a single sound source.
- Bidirectional (Figure-8): This pattern picks up sound equally from the front and rear of the microphone, while rejecting sound from the sides. Suitable for recording two sources facing each other, such as a duet.
- Omnidireccional: This pattern picks up sound equally from all directions. Useful for capturing ambient room sound or multiple sources in a natural acoustic space.
Ús bàsic
Position the microphone appropriately for the sound source and desired recording effect. Experiment with microphone placement and polar patterns to achieve the best results for your specific application. Ensure input gain levels on your audio interface or mixer are set correctly to avoid clipping or excessive noise.
Manteniment

- Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the microphones and all components in the provided locking flight case to protect them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Vida del tub: The TF47 uses a vacuum tube. While designed for longevity, tubes have a finite lifespan. If you notice a degradation in sound quality over time, consult a qualified technician for tube replacement.
