This microphone is suitable for use in a variety of situations such as at concerts
or conferences with digital recording equipment (Sony DAT, MD, NT(Digital
Microcorder), etc.).

  The turning capsule function allows both vertical and horizontal sound pickup.

  The Mid-Side Stereo System provides a natural sound pick up, delivering a stereo

sound image with superb clarity.

  The directive angle (between left and right channels) can be set to 90° or 120°

according to the sound source.

  The microphone should never be dropped or subjected to strong shock.

  Keep the microphone away from areas with extremely high temperatures and humidity

(above 60°C or 140°F).

  If the microphone is placed near loudspeakers, an acoustic feedback (howling effect)

may occur. If this happens, place the microphone as far away as possible from the
loudspeakers, change the direction of the microphone or decrease the speaker volume
until the howling stops.
