6.3 Connecting the equipment 

 

1.

 

Plug  the  XLR-5F  connector  of  the 
microphone  cable  into  the  XLR-5M 
connector  of  the  microphone  until  the 
connector  clicks  audibly  into  place. 
  

2.

 

Plug  the  XLR-5M  connector  at  the  other 
end of the microphone cable into the XLR-
5F  input  connector  of  the  N  975  power 
supply until it clicks audibly into place. 

4.

 

Plug  the  XLR-3F  connector  of  the 
connection  cable  into  the  XLR-3M  output 
connector of the N 975 power supply until it 
clicks audibly into place. Plug the XLR-3M 
connector  at  the  other  end  of  the 
connection  cable  into  the  XLR-3F  input 
connector  of  the  downstream  equipment 
(eg: mixer, recorder, amplifier, etc.) until it 
clicks  audibly  into  place.                               

.

 

 

5.

 

Only  after  the  above  connections  have 
been  made,  connect  the  power  cable  into 
the IEC mains connector of the N 975 and 
then into the mains power socket (switch on 
the power at this socket if it is a switched 
socket).  
 

6.

 

Switch on the N 975 power supply with the 
on/off power switch.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.4 Aligning the microphone 

 

Behind  the  mesh  of  the  PEM  975  is  a  green 
indicator LED.  

1.

 

Turn  on  the  LED  with  the  switch  on  the 
PEM 975 microphone.                          

.

 

  

2.

 

This  gives  the  speaker  an  indication  that 
they are in the correct pick-up area of the 
PEM  975  microphone                                           

.

 

  

3.

 

Turn  off  the  LED  (optionally,  it  can  be  left 
on  if  people  to  be  recorded  wish  to  be 
assured that they are in the pick-up area).  

The microphone is now ready for use.  

NB: When setting up, it is useful to be aware of the 
microphone’s polar-pattern. 

Care taken in setting up will give the best results.  

 

The light on the power switch lights up when the 
power supply unit is powered up.   

 

The  N  975  power  supply  unit  and  the  PEM  975 
can warm up to approx. 35º C, this corresponds 
to the normal operating temperature. 

 

The  device  can  be  damaged  or  destroyed  if 
connected  to  the  incorrect  mains  voltage.  
Therefore,  please  make  sure  that  the  N  975 
power supply is set to the correct voltage for the 
country of use (see section 7.1: Setting the supply 
voltage). 

 

If the amplification is set too high, there is the risk 
that  the  following  equipment  connected  to  the 
N  975  power  supply  unit  will  be  destroyed. 
Therefore  always  set  the  rotary  GAIN  control  to 
-36dB, before switching on the N 975. 
 

 

It is important that the cables are installed safely 
and are not twisted nor crushed; also, they should 
be  protected  from  being  pulled  or  stretched  if 
attached to moving parts.
