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.
