PRODUCT INFORMATION - OPUS 89
Thank you for selecting the Opus 89 dynamic microphone. Please
take some time to read carefully through this product information
before using the microphone.
Applications
The Opus 89 is designed for close miking vocals (lead vocalists,
particularly in rock bands), musical instruments and speaker cabinets.
The Opus 89 can be used handheld or on a stand with the supplied
microphone clamp.
Setting up
• In order to avoid “pop” sounds hold the microphone below the
mouth at a slight angle.
• Due to the close-talking effect, the miking distance between
the microphone and your mouth can make a difference in
sound and volume.
• The Opus 89 features a hypercardioid polar pattern and a high-
gain-before feedback. In order to achieve maximum gain-
before-feedback, the monitor box should be at an angle of
110° to the longitudinal axis of the microphone.
• Supply of the Opus 89 includes the MKV 8 microphone clamp
for stands with 3/8" thread. For stands with 5/8" thread
unscrew the 3/8"-thread insertion piece.
Maintenance
For cleaning of the microphone shaft and basket use a soft, damp
cloth. If necessary use a mild cleansing agent (such as washing-up
liquid), no solvent agents and take care not to allow any water
drops into the microphone.
If your microphone sounds dull, you should clean the integrated
foam pop shield:
1. Unscrew the microphone
basket counter clockwise.
2. Remove the foam pop shield
(use tweezers if necessary).
