Behringer U-87 Professional Condenser Microphone Kit

Power (Phantom Power): Most generic condenser microphones of this style require a 5V or 48V phantom power source to operate properly. Connect it to an audio interface, a mixer, or a phantom power supply using an XLR or appropriate jack cable.Shock Mount Installation: Mount the microphone securely inside the included spider-type shock mount to absorb physical desk vibrations and handling noise.Orientation: Speak or sing directly into the front side of the microphone capsule (usually denoted by the badge or logo facing you) to ensure the best cardioid pickup pattern quality.Troubleshooting Low Volume: If your computer or recorder does not pick up sound, check whether your audio interface is supplying enough power and verify that your recording software has selected the correct input device.
