CONNECTING THE MIC
1.
Plug the microphone into the
¼
” input jack of your preamp box.
2.
Connect the balanced XLR output (or
¼
” line output in the optional preamp model) of the microphone's
preamp box to a mixing console. If you want to connect the XLR output to a
¼
” input, you must use a
proper adapter. However, this may result in signal loss. We recommend you exchange your preamp for the
¼
” output box.
3.
For wind instruments, we recommend you use the supplied windscreen. For string and percussion
instrument, leave the windscreen off for best frequency response.
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 pl ug the
mi c d i r ec tl y i n to a p h an to m p o wer ed i n p u t!
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
Remove the lid off the control box. You do not need to remove any screws – the lid just pops off. Insert new
battery in the designated compartment and replace lid.
