in.) in diameter, and extends just 2 cm above the
mounting surface when installed. Despite its small
size, the MX395 delivers clear, high quality sound.

Microphone Placement
For best low-frequency response and rejection
of background noise, place the microphone on
a large, flat surface, such as a floor, table, or
lectern.
To reduce reverberance, avoid reflective surfaces
above or to the side of the microphone, such as
beveled sides of pulpits or overhanging shelves.

Installation

Important:
• Align indentation toward talker
• Do not over tighten the wing nut, as this
reduces shock isolation
