3. The HSP-03A headband is adjustable. If a tighter or looser fit is required, grasp the
sliding block on the frame with one hand and push or pull the open end with the other
to achieve the desired fit.

Avlex HSP-03A Premium Headworn Microphone Fitting and Handling Guide
The Avlex HSP Premium series of microphone booms are made of a lightweight, flexible soft metal. Please avoid
bending the boom at a sharp angle. The soft metal of the premium HSP-03A boom bends easily but care should be
taken when making adjustments to avoid damaging the microphone. Use a round object or the edge of your
finger as a guide to avoid kinking the boom. Repeated bending in the same location will eventually cause a
break in the boom or internal wires. Do not attempt to bend the boom near the capsule or next to the connector.

1. The ear hooks feature a unique ‘ratcheted’ swivel design that enables you to wear the
boom on either side of the head and allows the ear hooks to fold flat when not in use.
Carefully rotate the ear hooks so that the mic boom is on the side you desire.
The HSP microphones use a replaceable, Kevlar covered cord. These cords are as light
as possible in order to keep them comfortable and provide low visibility. Use caution
when wearing and removing the mic and bodypack to keep the cord safe. Do not wrap
excess cord around the bodypack. This will stress the cord and adapter and will result
in the mini coaxial connector being broken.
Thank you for choosing the Avlex HSP-03A Premium headworn microphone. We're
confident you'll find it to be a premium product that is lightweight and comfortable
which will produce a clear natural sound for years to come. For additional information
on the HSP Series of Avlex Microphones, including videos regarding fitting and
handling, please visit the Avlex microphone section on our web site at www.avlex.com.
7. When removing the HSP-03A, grasp the boom directly in front of the ear with one
hand and place a finger on the connector behind your earlobe with the other hand. Gently
push up with both hands to remove the microphone. Fold the ear hooks flat and store
them in the case for your next use.
4. If necessary, gently curve the boom so the capsule is about a half an inch from the
side of your face. Use your thumb and forefinger to shape the boom carefully. Allow
at least ½ inch of straight boom next to the earpiece; this allows the headset to be
properly held in position.
5. With the headset firmly on the ears, adjust the boom up or down for best capsule
location. Loosening the boom nut will allow you to further adjust the overall length of
the boom. The optimum position is when the capsule is located just behind the edge of
your mouth when you smile. Do not position the capsule directly in front of the mouth.
This will result in “pops” and breathing noise. The pickup pattern of the HSP-03A will
allow for the mic to function well over a large area.
6. Secure the boom to the frame utilizing the stabilizer block. Simply press the
head frame wire into the slot on the stabilizer block that is attached to the boom.
2. Holding the ear hooks at the open end, slide them over your ears coming from the back
of your head; place the ear hooks over your ears letting the ratchet joint rest behind your
ear lobe and the headband rest on the back of your neck. The ear hooks themselves
should not need any adjustment.
