5. คู่มือการใช้งาน

The TF39 microphone offers three selectable polar patterns, which can be chosen directly from the external power supply unit.

5.1 Polar Pattern Selection

The power supply unit features a switch or knob to select between the following polar patterns:

• คาร์ดิออยด์: This pattern is most sensitive to sound coming from the front of the microphone and rejects sound from the sides and rear. It is ideal for isolating a sound source, such as a vocalist or a single instrument, in a live or studio environment.
• รอบทิศทาง: This pattern picks up sound equally from all directions. It is suitable for capturing room ambiance, group vocals, or instruments where a natural, open sound is desired.
• Figure-8 (Bidirectional): This pattern is equally sensitive to sound from the front and rear of the microphone, while rejecting sound from the sides. It is commonly used for recording two vocalists facing each other, or for capturing the direct sound of an instrument along with a specific room reflection.

5.2 Placement and Gain Stagกำลังทำ

Proper microphone placement and gain staging are crucial for optimal sound quality. Experiment with microphone distance and angle relative to the sound source. Adjust the gain on your preamplifier to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping.

6. การบำรุงรักษา

To ensure the longevity and performance of your TF39 microphone, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• การทำความสะอาด: Gently wipe the microphone body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• พื้นที่จัดเก็บ: When not in use, store the microphone in its protective case to shield it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
• การดูแลท่อ: Tube microphones generate heat. Ensure adequate ventilation around the power supply and microphone during operation. Avoid frequent power cycling, as this can reduce tube life.
• การจัดการ: Handle the microphone with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can damage the delicate internal components, including the tube and capsule.
