That way, you’ll have the knowledge to fine-tune your GoXLR mic settings to suit your voice and the other sound sources on your stream.

Best GoXLR Mic Settings ExplainedĪs we walk you through our recommended GoXLR mic settings, we’ll explain what each feature does and why we recommend the settings we do. For all of these reasons, the RE20 is our favorite microphone to use with the GoXLR. The RE20 is comparable to the Shure SM7B, but it has a bit more clarity. It has all the benefits of a dynamic microphone: TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION AND 1 kHz, +20 dBu output: Main Output: Better than 20 Hz, +20 dBu output: Main Output: Better than 0.002%Ĭontinuously Variable from -20 dBu to +10 dBuġ2VDC is optimal voltage, but 9-15VDC is acceptableĬURRENT 9VDC Current is 1.3 A typical: Power = 12VDC Current is 1.0 A typical: Power = 12.0 15VDC Current is 800 mA typical: Power = 12.We love using the Electro-Voice RE20 dynamic microphone with the GoXLR. Maximum output from 20 Hz to 40 kHz is +23 dBu

Two internal jumpers in the 5017 can be set to change the compressor from the mic channel to the DI / blend channel, and to change the compressor time constant from standard to fast. Indicators on the 5017 denote signal presence and clipping on both DI and mic signals, as well as compressor activation. An LED light indicates when the compressor is active. To set the compressor, simply dial the threshold control down until the desired amount of compression is achieved. By default, the compressor is set to a fixed 2:1 ratio with fixed attack and release. This control is most apparent when the signals being combined are at roughly equal levels, and is generally used when blending an instrument’s direct signal with its amplified signal, as captured by a microphone.īased around a new LDR (light dependent resister) design, the 5017’s opto-coupler compressor has been simplified to a single threshold control with auto make up gain. When engaged, the VARI-PHASE control rotates the phase incrementally, allowing two signals with the same source to be phase aligned. The symbol “Ø” is often used to denote opposite polarity. Push button inverts the polarity of the mic input signal path. Signals below 80Hz can be attenuated at a rate of 12db / octave, getting rid of building rumble, motor hum, etc. The high pass filter is a valuable aid in any signal chain, but particularly so in a microphone preamplifier. Controlled by a switch on the back of the unit. Provides 48V phantom power to microphones. Pushing the Silk button engages the Silk circuit, which enhances the source’s harmonic content in a manner very reminiscent of many of Rupert’s class-A vintage designs.Ī 12-way precision rotary switch covering Line (0) and Mic from 0 to 66 dB in 6 dB steps.Ĭontinuous gain control from 0dB to 30dB.īalanced or unbalanced Hi-Z input for instruments, with a THRU output to send signal to an amplifier. With two transformer coupled outputs, the 5017 has separate line outputs for the DI/Blend and Mic signals when the blend control is set to fully DI.
