Note: using Phantom power, batteries are not necessary.
2.
Being careful about mounting direction, insert the gooseneck connector on microphone base surface XLR connector.
3.
Connect microphone base to an external unit (mixer, amplifier, etc.) using supplied cable. If the external unit microphone input can supply
Phantom power, apply it to this microphone by switching Phantom power on.
Note: before connecting the microphone to the external unit, it must be turned off and with its volume settings at minimum.
4.
First of all turn on the microphone, then the unit and adjust its volume do desired level.

Operating suggestions
•
If the microphone is placed too close to speaker or its capsule is oriented towards a speaker, it could generate feedback (Larsen effect). Avoid
placing the microphone too close to the speaker, and avoid orienting its capsule toward the speaker. IF, despite these practises, you hear
feedback, please lower speaker volume.
•
It’s important to keep the anti-pop foam clean; foreign particles on the foam could modify frequency response. Periodically wash the anti-pop
foam using warm water with mild soap, rinse the foam with clean water, then let the foam dry thoroughly before placing it again on the
microphone.
•
Due to the microphone’s very high sensitivity, be careful the microphone isn’t dropped and avoid shock, as it could be damaged.
•
In order to maintain sensitivity and performance, avoid exposing the microphone to moisture or high temperatures.
•
Use new batteries of high quality only; the use of discharged and/or low quality batteries could cause leakage of chemical substances that
could damage the unit.
