Installation
All Discreet Acoustics Modular Capsule Modules are con-
denser microphones and therefore require a power supply
(phantom power). The Installation Modules have been
designed for connection to microphone inputs with 9 to
52 V phantom power. To connect Installation Modules to
inputs without phantom power, refer to Section 4.6.
1. Screw the Capsule Module onto the Installation
Module.
The screw thread is relatively fine and therefore very
smooth-running. Make sure not to tilt the capsule
when placing it on the Installation Module thread
because this would damage the thread.
2. To lock the capsule, use commercial minimum-tack
screw locking adhesive that allows you to unscrew
the capsule later if need be.
Before replacing a Capsule Module, be sure to
switch your sound system OFF
in order to prevent
unwanted noise.
1. Use the supplied PS 3 F-Lock panel mount socket to
install the Installation Module in a tabletop or an
optional SA 40 or SA 50 stand adapter to mount the
Installation Module on a floor or table stand.
Note:
For even better vibrational noise rejection, you can
fix the Installation Module to the tabletop with an
optional H 500 (see fig. 13) or H 600 + A 608 shock
mount (see figs. 14 and 15).
2. Use a shielded cable to connect the Installation
Module to a microphone input with phantom power.
3. If the phantom power on your mixing console is swit-
chable, switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the
instruction manual for your mixing console.)
The Capsule Module and the LED ring (see Section 7)
will be powered from the phantom supply.
1. Drill an 11-mm (7/16”) hole through the tabletop.
2. Thread the connecting cable of the Installation
Module through the opening and the supplied fixing
screw.
3. Screw the fixing screw into the Installation Module
from below to fix the Installation Module in place.
