Installation and Operation
Operating your SGM Mic
After you plug in the SGM mic and the green LED
comes on, you are ready to adjust the mic's level on
your mixer. The mic capsule is designed to work best
when the user is between 3 and 6 inches away from
the mic. Set your levels for a normal speaking voice at
those distances.
Use the included Phantom screwdriver tool to adjust
the settings on your SGM mic.
Infrared Gate
The heat-sensing IR sensor is integrated into the hous-
ing of the mic capsule. This sensor reacts to changes
in body heat, so when a person gets in front of the
mic it will turn on the mic. When a person walks away
from the mic, the sensor will turn the mic off. Do not
block the sensor with anything or you will defeat the
sensing action.
Controls: Time and Range, or Disable the Gate
TIME:
Set the time it takes to turn off the mic after
someone walks away from the mic.
Settings:
5, 10, or 15 seconds. Default is 10 seconds.
Control:
A momentary push of the IR Gate control
button reveals the current setting. Press again to
cycle to the next setting. Repeat to cycle back to the
beginning.
Indicator:
The three-color LED will flash red once
to indicate a 5 second IR Gate time, two times for a
10 second IR Gate time, and 3 times to indicate a 15
second time.
RANGE:
Set the operating distance at which the
sensor either turns on or turns off the mic.
Settings:
3, 6, or 9 feet, or disabled. Default is 6 feet.
Control:
Push and hold the IR Gate control button
for 3 seconds, then let go to reveal the current
setting. Press and hold again to cycle to the next
setting. Repeat to cycle back to the beginning.
Indicator:
The three-color LED will flash amber
once to indicate a 3 foot (one meter) IR Gate
distance, two times for a 6 foot (two meter) IR Gate
distance, 3 times to indicate a 9 foot (three meter)
distance, and 4 times to indicate the IR Gate is
disabled.
Your Phantom Gooseneck Microphone requires industry
standard 48 volt phantom power to operate properly.
The phantom power supplied from your mixer is used for
both the microphone element and for the built-in signal
processing that is included in your SGM microphone.
Installing your SGM Mic
SGM mics without integrated bases are terminated
with a standard male XLR connector. Install these by
simply plugging them into one of the following:
•
Existing microphone base.
If your base has a switch
to enable or disable phantom power, make sure it is set
to allow phantom power from your mixer. If the base
has an internal battery for phantom power make sure
you keep good batteries installed.
•
Existing shock-mount plate or flush-mount female
XLR connector.
•
Sabine shock-mount plate
models SGM-SMP45-T
or SGM-SMP45-S. For installation instructions on
these models, please see the guide that comes with
this accessory.
Verify Operation
If your SGM mic is plugged in properly and phantom
power is turned on in your mixer you will see the SGM's
LED turn green.
