OPERATIONS

Your 

PM85 

is supplied with a carrying plastic case, housing also the clamp 

to allow easy and comfortable positioning on microphone boom. 
Please, be careful handling your 

PM85

. In order to avoid dust and moisture 

collecting over the capsule, we suggest you to use the supplied plastic carrying 
case for microphone storage too.
During stage use, please be careful to microphone versus wedge monitor 
placement; despite your 

PM85

 cardioid capsule has an excellent off-axis 

rejection for minimum feedback, you should experience feedback due to very 
high sound pressure level.

Finding the optimal microphone placement is basically a process requiring 
trials; so make your own experience starting from mic tech specs and your 
knowledge, continuously using your musical sensibility and your ears.

 Don’t forget that every ambient has its own sonic character, so every time 
you’ve to change some settings. Your 

PM85

 cardioid microphone is suited 

for female and male voices, but you can successfully use it on small percussion, 
drum kit single drums, and guitar speaker.
