Warnings
Failure to heed these warnings could result in an
electrical shock hazard, reduced service life or
damage to your equipment.
•
The Holophone H2-PRO is intended for professional use only.
•
All safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated and
retained for future reference.
•
While the Holophone H2-PRO is water-resistant to some degree, take care that it does not
become too wet. When used outdoors, a plastic bag placed around it with an elastic band
around the cable will help to protect it against inclement weather.
•
The seven external microphone capsules located on the perimeter of the Holophone are
free-floating in the rubber gaskets surrounding the “head”. This has been designed as a
feature to protect the microphone elements should they come in contact with a hard
object. To achieve the best performance from the H2-PRO, the integrated fine mesh pop
screen on the microphone capsule should be visible in its entirety on the outside of the
gasket up to the line where the screen and the capsule body meet. There is a small lip
built into the underside of the holes on the perimeter of the gasket which holds the
capsules in place. When positioned correctly, this internal lip holds the microphone
capsules in the correct location on the Holophone. In the event that the capsules become
pressed in towards the frame, gently pull the capsule back outwards with fingertips or a
small pair of tweezers, being mindful that the screen and gasket are delicate. The best
way to pull the element out is by reaching into the gasket with tweezers placed around
and underneath the capsule. Carefully grasp the capsule’s plastic body below the fine
mesh screen with the tweezers, and gently pull the capsule out and into place.

•
The gold colored diaphragm located in each microphone capsule is delivered with the
straight line of the diaphragm running parallel to the line in the Holophone’s perimeter
gasket. This is for cosmetic purposes only. If the diaphragms appear to be off-center, it
will in no way affect the performance of the H2-PRO.
