Never try to shift the microphone arm inside the
holder. This would damage the microphone arm.
•
When removing the microphone arm from the holder,
never grasp the microphone arm itself! The strain may
break the tubing.
1. Put the microphone on.
2. Position the microphone
capsule approx. 0.4 in.
(1 cm) behind the corner of
your mouth. This alignment
ensures optimum signal
level and minimum pop
noise.
• If required for visual rea-
sons, you may as well position the microphone capsule
near the ear. The signal level will, however, be lower.
•
To avoid distortion and pop noise, do not position the
microphone capsule directly in front of your mouth!
•
Always position the microphone capsule where it can-
not touch your skin! Direct contact with the skin may
cause moisture or perspiration to penetrate into the
microphone capsule and/or generate mechanical
noise.
3. If the microphone arm protrudes too far back, try to bend
this part of the microphone arm closer toward the head with
care.
If (for instance, in outdoor use) excessive wind or pop noise be-
comes audible, attach the supplied foam windscreen to the mi-
crophone.
•
You can apply makeup in the color of the user's face to the
windscreen.
