Set the pad to -10 or -20 dB to avoid distortion when miking loud sources such as drums or guitar cabinets. Activate the high-pass filter at 40 80 or 160 Hz for attenuation of low-frequency problems including rumble and proximity effect. The OC818’s housing is constructed of zinc-aluminum alloy for strength and durability.
