[. . . ] Do not over tighten the capsule, and pay particular attention to the threading of the capsule to ensure you DO NOT cross thread the capsule. It is a good idea to store the replacement capsule in the box provided as it is fragile. The Apex180 comes with a mic stand clip, however the optional IMC-9 shockmount cradle may be the preferred solution for isolating the capsule when using the microphone for most delicate recording or live sound reinforcement applications. Understanding Multiple Polar Patterns An omni-directional pattern will give your mic the ability to pickup sound from all directions. This is ideal for recording sounds that emanate from multiple directions, or picking up the source material as well as the natural ambiance and reverberation of a room. Omnidirectional patterns also have no proximity effect, or `bottom end enhancement' as the source gets closer to the microphone. This makes an omnidirectional pattern ideal for use recording choirs, string sections, background vocals or acoustic instruments where a natural `open' tone quality is preferred.
