Operation
The product must only be connected to suitable microphone inputs in order to
avoid distortions or mismatches that could cause damage to the microphone or the
connected audio device. Pay attention to the connection values in the "Technical
data".
Never direct the microphone at the sound outlet of loudspeakers, as this can result in
feedback which may damage the loudspeakers and the connected amplifier.
a) Securing the microphone
1. Secure the microphone to the user's clothing using the clip so that it is facing the direction of
speech and is not located too far from the mouth. You can attach the microphone to your tie,
collar or other parts of your clothing.
2.
Adjust the microphone to the desired speaking position. Ensure that the product sits in a
secure position.
3. You can feed the microphone cable through clothing or holes in accessories.
b) Using the microphone
1.
Turn off the audio device to which the microphone will be connected. Turn the sensitivity of
your audio device to zero using the corresponding input level control (refer to the operating
instructions of the audio device you are using).
2.
Insert the 3.5 mm jack plug on the microphone cable into the corresponding microphone
connection on your audio device.
3.
Turn on your audio device with the connected sound source (loudspeakers).
4.
Test the microphone by speaking a few words (e.g. counting whole numbers) whilst slowly
moving the input level control on the audio device upwards until the desired output volume
is reached.
Air movements such as wind, moving the microphone or breathing create deep
frequencies in the sound spectrum. The attached windscreen made of sponge
prevents such sounds from being recorded.
Maintenance and cleaning
•
The product does not require maintenance except for occasional cleaning.
•
Under no circumstances should you service any of the components in the interior of the device,
therefore never open it.
• Before cleaning, remove the 3.5 mm jack plug from the connected audio device.
•
Use a soft, antistatic and lint-free cloth to clean the device. Dust can be removed easily using a
soft and clean long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner.
•
Do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning materials.
