SENSITIVITY SWITCH OF VERIFACT   A MICROPHONE

For special installations that require less microphone sensitivity or where there is background noise, a sensitivity switch is 
mounted to the microphone pre-amp (PC Board) and has two positions, N and L:

N represents normal sensitivity (0dB ouput into 1k

)

L represents low sensitivity (-6dB output into 1k

)

Louroe VERIFACT   microphones are always shipped with the sensitivity switch in normal (N) position. Do not change 
unless necessary. To change the sensitivity setting, use a small screwdriver and move slide switch from N to L position.  
The switch is mounted on the back side of the microphone housing.
