STANDARD ITEMS SUPPLIED
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The capsule is the heart of the condenser microphone. If it becomes dirty or wet, the sound will be degraded. Never spray any
liquid on the microphone head. Always use a foam windscreen if you talk or sing close to the microphone grill screen.
WARNING
The CM 95 is supplied with a foam windscreen (FW-1/90). This windscreen fits over the grill portion of the microphone and is
designed primarily to decrease bass rumble (from wind noise pickup) during outdoor live or recording use. It is also useful in
keeping mouth spray out of the microphone head. The FW-1 or other windscreen should be used whenever someone is close
miked to both protect the microphone and to also eliminate “popping” sounds from percussive breath sounds.
(Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high frequency response of the microphone.
