Important safety instructions! Please read before connection!
DANGER! (Electrical shock due to high voltages in the device)
The housing must not be removed! There are no parts to be maintained in the device.
Inside the unit there are components which are under high electrical voltage.
Before each use, check the device for damage or the absence of components, protective
devices or housing parts. If this is the case, the device must not be used!
Leave maintenance and repair work to a qualified service workshop or contact your
dealer. In the case of a malfunction of the device, operation must also be stopped
immediately until the device has been repaired by a specialist!
DANGER! (Electric shock due to short circuit)
Modifications to the power cord or plug are prohibited. If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced immediately with an original spare part from the manufacturer.
Always make sure that the grounding of the device is maintained. Only use the supplied
power cables and always maintain the earthed protective contacts on the side. Make sure
that the sockets used have a properly functioning protective earth.
Failure to do so may result in fire or death due to electric shock!
DANGER! (For babies and children)
Dispose of or store any packaging material properly! Packaging material must be kept out
of the reach of babies and children due to the risk of suffocation.
Ensure that children never use the appliance unattended! In addition, make sure that
children do not remove (small) parts from the device, as they could suffocate by swallowing
parts!
Hint! (Fire hazard due to overheating)
The maximum permissible ambient temperature of this device is 40°C.
Ensure that the unit is placed in a well-ventilated location away from direct heat sources,
naked flames, combustible materials, and liquids. A minimum distance of 1 m is required.
Do not tape or cover the ventilation slots of the unit, or insert objects into the unit.

ENGLISH
Hint! (Operating conditions)
Due to its structural characteristics, the device is designed for indoor operation (IP20).
Never expose the unit to rain, moisture or liquids as this may cause damage.
Vibrations, dust or sunlight can also cause damage, avoid them!
Hint! (Power supply)
This large diaphragm condenser microphone is operated with phantom power. According
to DIN 45596, phantom power is a positive voltage of 12, 24 or 48 volts on both AF lines
compared to the cable shielding.
The phantom power usually comes from mixing consoles, sound cards or microphone
amplifiers, sometimes also from batteries.
If you do not use your device for a long period of time or carry out maintenance work,
disconnect the device from the power source in order to minimize danger. Never pull the
cable while phantom power is active!
Hint! (Condensation)
To avoid condensation in the unit, the unit should adapt to the ambient temperature
before commissioning.
Hint! (Unwanted odours)
A new product can sometimes lead to unwanted odours. This reaction is normal and
disappears after a few minutes.
Hint! (Damage to loudspeaker diaphragms due to feedback)
Avoid feedback by keeping the microphone away from activated speakers that are
simultaneously listening to the signal. If necessary, turn off the speakers completely.
Hint! (Sensitive microphone capsule)
To avoid damage to the microphone capsule - never open the microphone basket!
Hint! (Sound pressure level/noise level to noise distance)
Observe the specified sound pressure level/noise level spacing to prevent destruction of
the diaphragm caused by extreme levels.

Scope of delivery:

ENGLISH
Installation:
Be sure to check the unit for damage before use. Use the original packaging or a suitable
transport or storage packaging to protect the product from dust, moisture, etc. when not in use.
Equipment and use:
This large diaphragm condenser microphone has a three-pin XLR connector and comes with a
matching bracket. Due to its characteristics, the FAME Audio CM1 is used for miking vocals,
speech, guitar and percussion.
Commissioning:
All connections of the device should be made before switching on. Only use high-quality,
undamaged and as short cables as possible for the connections.
Configuration of the 3-pin XLR connector:

ENGLISH
Directional characteristics:
Microphones have one or more directional characteristics in order to achieve better sound
recording results, depending on the application. Sound arriving at the basket and capsule from
certain angles can be erased, attenuated or not influenced at all. How strong or weak these
effects are depends on the microphone. The main characteristics are omnidirectional, eight and
club, while the cardioid, wide cardioid, supercardioid and hypercardioid characteristics are mixed.
Example application 1: Omnidirectional
Since the omnidirectional characteristic has no extinctions due to the design of the microphone,
sound from all directions can be picked up almost uniformly.
Example application 2: Cardioid
Sound hitting the rear is extinguished/dampened by the cardioid characteristic. The focus here is
on the direct signal.
FAME Studio CM1 - Cardioid characteristic:
The FAME Studio CM1 features a cardioid characteristic that effectively cancels out or attenuates
sound coming from the rear (below or 180°). This microphone is ideal for recording vocals,
speech, guitar and percussion.

Troubleshooting
No tone
Check the cable for damage (cuts, extreme kinks,
etc.) and replace if necessary.
Check the wiring. Connectors must be fully
inserted and snap into place!
Check if the 48V phantom power is switched on at
the console/interface.
Check the setting of the preamplifier on the
console/interface/etc.
Delayed tone
Change the buffer size in the DAW settings. The
lower the number, the lower the latency. (Note:
with a low buffer size, the machine requires higher
performance. Depending on the computer, this
can lead to higher performance losses). For more
information, please refer to the manual of each
digital audio workstation.
