equipped with a 3-pin XLR-plug.
The microphone can be connected to any microphone
input. For best results we recommend the use of balanced
microphone cables into a balanced microphone input.
Refer to “Optional Accessories”.
Setting up
•
The two red dots on the ring around the micro-
phone head mark the longitudinal axis of the
two ribbons. When setting up the microphone
on stands, make sure that this axis runs vertically.
•
The M 160 features excellent transmission qualities.
Its hypercardioid polar pattern with a noise
cancellation of 25 dB at 110° suppresses lateral
sound reflections and external noise effectively.
Therefore, the M 160 is an ideal microphone for
applications demanding the very best in recording
and transmission technology.
Maintenance
For cleaning the
microphone shaft and basket
use a soft, damp cloth. If necessary use a mild cleansing
agent (such as washing-up liquid), no solvent agents
and take care not to allow any water drops into the
transducer element.
Service
Servicing must be
carried out by qualified
service personnel only. Dismantling the microphone
yourself will render the guarantee null and void.
