 Description 

 

 

Attenuation selector switch 

Selector switch 1 on the left-hand side of the microphone enables you to 
increase the mic level by 10 dB to enable distortion-free recording of very loud 
sound sources and in close proximity to sound sources. This attenuation 

prevents the microphone output level from exceeding critical control limits, 
particularly at low frequencies, in miniature transformers that are used in 

mixing desk inputs, for example. 

Bass-cut selector switch 

Rumble or wind noises, etc., may cause distortion at the lowest frequencies, 
but these can be reduced by simply using the switchable bass-cut. The bass-
cut also counteracts the proximity effect that can occur when the microphone 

is only a short distance (less than 15 cm) from the sound source. 

Status LED 

This LED indicates the current battery status: 

 

LED flashes momentarily when switching ON and then extinguishes: Battery 
is OK. 

 

LED lit constantly: Battery life of about 60 minutes remaining. 

 

NOTE

 

When you use the microphone with phantom power, the Status LED will not be 
lit. 

On/Off Switch 

The microphone provides an on/off switch with no audible click. In the Off 
position, the batteries are not used. 

 

NOTE

 

Switch the microphone off when it is not in use, thus prolonging the battery life.
