Introduction

The S1 is the result of over 30 years experience in stage

sound technology.

The design brief was simple- build the best vocal mic

in the world! How do you achieve that? Well, you need

to have a sound quality that is equal to the ﬁnest studio

microphones, and certainly has the experience

to make this happen!

The studio quality is a great start, but for live use the

microphone must not suffer from feedback, handling or

plosive noise. It must also have a tailored response that

takes into consideration the proximity effect. What else?

It must be able to take the knocks and bumps of the

road! The S1 does it all, and in my opinion, is the best

looking vocal mic around.

While using the S1 is quite simple, and there are not

many things you need to learn, please take a moment

to read through this user manual, and then visit

www.rodemic.com and register your microphone for a

full ten year warranty.

While there you can view studio tips and techniques, as

well as browse the comprehensive range of accessories

for microphones. Thank you for investing in your

S1 live condenser microphone.

• The S1 is a phantom powered microphone. To

operate correctly it requires a 48V phantom supply

from the mixing console, PA head or other source.

• It is recommended that you use a high-quality

microphone lead, and keep it as short as practical

for your stage set up. This will ensure the highest

quality sound reproduction.

• When using stage monitors, set them up as shown

below. This will direct the sound to your ears and

towards the least responsive part of the S1’s pick

up pattern.

While PA set up is well beyond this manual, if you

want to get the best sound possible with the least

problems, we recommend a book by Australian

audio legend Duncan Fry, titled “Live Sound

Mixing”.

Using the S1

048-950-2-1_S1_manual.indd 6048-950-2-1_S1_manual.indd 6 2/07/2009 12:28:45 PM2/07/2009 12:28:45 PM

A quick tip to reduce feedback - never put your

hands over the ball head. This can signiﬁcantly

change the pick-up area of the mic, and can cause

feedback. And of course, never point the front of

mic at the speakers!

• The ball head of the S1 is an engineering marvel.

Made up of ﬁve separate mesh screens the outer

is heat-treated steel, which has been bead-blasted

and nickel-plated. Internally we have stainless steel

meshes as well as a ﬁnal nylon mesh. These ﬁlters

are design to remove vocal plosives, while not

affecting the frequency response. The mesh head

can be unscrewed and washed in soap and water.

Please fully dry the head before re-assembly and

be sure to take care with the mic once the head has

been removed.

• After use the S1 should be wiped with a dry, soft

cloth and placed in its protective case.

• Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals

(supplied) at the head of the microphone, so as to

absorb any moisture present.

• Eventually this pack of crystals will need to be

dried. This is indicated by the crystals turning pink

in colour.

• They can easily be re-used by placing them in an

oven at 100 - 150 degrees celsius for approximately

ten minutes. The crystals will operate effectively

again once they have turned blue.
