The capsule
A Super Cardioid back electret capsule
with extremely good directional
properties enhanced with the
assistance of the resistant tube.
The manner in which the microphone
has been tuned with the tube makes it
an ideal microphone for recording dialog,
as it has a very clear and unmuddied
frequency response. The capsule is
tuned to minimise low frequency sounds
such as traffic rumble.
The battery
The battery can be found located in
the drawer on the side of the microphone
electronic housing. By opening the door
and pulling out the tray in a horizontal
motion, the battery is revealed and can
be easily removed by simply pushing
it out from the tray. The battery should
be placed in the battery holder with the
+ sign on the battery facing downward.
The battery is a standard 2032 button
cell battery readily available in most
supermarkets. The battery will offer
over 300 hours of continuous use.

The foam windsock
The windsock is manufactured from
reticulated polyurethane foam. The
sock is designed to minimize light wind
noise; however in high wind situations
it is recommended that a fluffy wind
protector be fitted. These are available
from many third party suppliers. The
outer size of the wind sock is 22mm in
diameter and 120 mm in length.

The cable
The cable utilizes a 3.5 TRS gold
plated connector which will plug into
the microphone input of most DSLR
and domestic video cameras. If your
camera requires a different input plug
there are many adaptors available on
the market. The cable is 150mm in
length which can be extended using
any 3.5mm extension cable.

Attaching the microphone to
the camera
The microphone is fitted to the
camera by attaching it to the cold
shoe adaptor, usually found located
on the top of the viewfinder section.
Carefully unscrew the knurled disc
on the thread under the microphone.
Position the square metal plate on
the bottom of the metal thread into
the cold shoe (Flashgun Adaptor) and
tighten the knurled disc down onto the
camera to secure the microphone to
the body of the camera. Next take the
3.5mm plug on the end of the audio
cable and connect the microphone into
the microphone input socket on the
camera. This socket is usually located
behind a rubberized flap on the side of
the camera body.
