Re: 'totally NuBB' question of the day,,,,

Joe,
The markings on the mic next to the switch refer to:

lin - short for linear, as in linear frequency response, which means the circuitry not attenuate (decreased) any parts of the frequency range of the mic.

75hz - indicates that when the switch is at this position, the frequency range will be attenuated. This is useful for certain conditions such as wind noise or handling noise that is most evident at or below 75db. It is similar to the effect of pulling down the lower bands on a graphic equalizer. Also known as "low cut".

-10db - this position attenuates the entire signal from the mic. This feature is useful for recording very loud sources that would otherwise clip the signal.

FYI - Some mics have two switches for these functions, one for "low cut", often with a choice of frequencies, the other for attenuation, again with a choice of -10db and -20db.
