| 0dB | -10dB PAD off |
| -10dB | -10dB PAD on |
Switching on the -10dB PAD (passive attenuation device) will increase the microphone's headroom by 10dB by reducing the signal level of the microphone before it reaches the microphone's electronics. This allows for recording louder sound sources without overloading the microphone's electronics and causing distortion.

80Hz high-pass filter off |
Switching on the 80Hz high-pass filter will filter out rumble or other unwanted low frequencies from the microphone's output. The filter will reduce the output level by 3dB at 80Hz and roll-off at a rate of 12dB per octave.
