sennheiser me-66 voltage menu setting?

[rdbot]

hello...i dont have the dvx manual in front of me, but i remember reading that theres a menu setting--i think for mic voltage?--that needs to be set depending on the kind of mic one has--its a number like 50 or 60...i have the me66\k6 shotgun mic and i searched the internet for this voltage setting but couldnt find anything...i want to set it up correctly...can anyone help?

your talking about the db sensitivity.. it can be set to -50 or -60 . set it according ly if you need more sensitivity or not. the phanton power is not adjustable and runs at the standard 48v
..heres a link to the manual :

Generally speaking, the -50dB setting is for condenser mics and -60dB is for dynamic mics.

Condensers put out voltage and don't need low sensitivity. I believe the ME66 is a condenser and I would set the mic sensitivity to -50dB.
