Powering the microphone
Th
ere are two ways to power the TM-STPRO:
1.
Turn on the Phantom Power switch on your micro-
phone preamp. You should switch on phantom power for both
channels of the TM-STPRO. Phantom power sends 48 volts
to the microphone over the cable and is commonly found on
professional mixers and recorders.
2.
Install a AA battery to power the microphone. An
alkaline AA battery provides approximately 400 hours of op-
eration under normal circumstances. Th
ere is no power switch
on the TM-STPRO, so you need to remove the battery when
you are fi nished using the microphone.
Installing the battery
1.
Unscrew microphone body cover
2.
Remove the body shell
3.
Insert the battery, taking note of the polarity
Battery Precautions:
•
Insert the battery correctly
•
Do not charge the included AA battery
•
Remove the battery if the microphone will not
be used for a long period of time
•
If the battery leaks, clean the battery holder
before inserting a new battery
Using the Low Cut Filter
Th
e low-cut fi lter switch is located on the top of the micro-
phone. To switch on the low cut fi lter, move the switch to the
down position (indicated by the icon). Move the switch
to the up position for full bass response (indicated by the
icon). Th
e low cut fi lter attenuates frequencies below 150Hz at
a cutoff slope of 6dB per octave.
To permanently set the microphone for fl at response, so that
it cannot be accidentally switched to rolloff mode, use the
switch protector located under the switch. Unscrew the philips
screw holding the switch protector in place, rotate it so it faces
upward, then replace the philips screw.
