POWER SUPPLY
If plugged into a phantom powered mixing console, the microphone’s preamp will be powered through your
board. If no phantom power is available, you will have to use a 9-volt battery in the preamp. The preamp powers
the microphone with a special lower voltage power (different from phantom power). Do not plug the mic directly
into a phantom powered input!
Battery life will be up to 150 hours. Please make sure to unplug the quarter inch plug of the microphone when
your system is not in use. This will shut off the battery and extend its lifetime.
INSERTING AND CHANGING BATTERY
Open the control box by unscrewing the lid (one screw) and opening the lid. Insert new battery in the designated
compartment and reattach lid and screw.

ATTACHING THE MIC WITHOUT THE BUTTERFLY CLIP
If the butterfly clip does not fit on your instrument, or if it is too bulky, you can choose to attach your mic with
the supplied dual-lock. Dual-lock is a Velcro-like fastener with adhesive backing that interlocks when pressed
together. Your mic comes with a piece of dual-lock looped around the base of the gooseneck and an additional
piece in the box.
1.
Carefully separate the mic from the butterfly clip (leave the dual-lock on the microphone).
2.
Locate the second piece of dual-lock that came with your mic. It is about
½
” x 2” in size. Cut the piece to
fit your instrument. Remove the white backing and stick this piece on your instrument where you would
like to position the mic.
3.
Press piece 1 and 2 firmly together (see picture below). The dual lock works like "super" Velcro. It is very
durable and will not wear out.
