Control elements

The C314 provides selectors for the polar patterns, preattenuation pad and bass
cut.
Selector for polar patterns
Figure 1: Selector for polar patterns
Selector 1 on the back of the microphone (see fig. 1) allows you to select four
polar patterns, providing the optimum polar pattern for best possible results in
the most diverse miking situations. All polar patterns are largely
frequency-independent for realistic and uncoloured off-axis sound.
Selector for preattenuation pads
Figure 2: Selector for preattenuation pads
Selector 2 on the side of the microphone (see fig. 2) lets you increase the
headroom by 20 dB for distortion-free close-in recording. The preattenuation
pads prevent the microphone's output level, particularly at low frequencies, from
overloading the mixer input stages and amplifiers in the microphone.
