Button Function Control
SGM models that end with -SW include a push button
switch on the top of the integrated base. This button
is programmable via the three-position slider switch on
the bottom of the base. In all cases when the mic is on
the LED on the base stays green, and when the mic is
off the LED goes off.
Control and Indicator Summary Charts
OPERATION
PROGRAMMING THE INFRARED GATE
AGC, Plosive, & Proximity Effect Control
This control uses a poten-
tiometer to simultaneously
adjust the parameters for
the Automatic Gain Con-
trol, and the Plosive/Proximity Effect Control. Use the
Phillips end of the Phantom tool to turn the pot.
Settings:
1:1 to 4:1 ratio
Control:
Turning the pot all the way to the left, or coun-
terclockwise, turns these functions off. Turning the pot
all the way to the right, or clockwise, maximizes the effect
of the AGC and Plosive/Proximity Effect Control.
Indicator:
None.
For best results talk into the mic while turning this pot
until you get the desired results. Turn the pot to the
right, or clockwise, to get:
•
Increased gain reduction
when someone gets too
close to the mic and speaks loudly.
•
Increased protection from those loud plosive
pops
associated with certain hard consonants, like
"p" or "t" or "k".
You may have a variety of people using the SGM mi-
crophone. In this case you will have to chose a setting
that protects your system from those who get too close
to the mic, and still allows for sufficient gain for normal
speakers, and for those who speak in a very quiet voice.
Higher settings may require an increase in gain at the
mixer to maintain nominal level.

In the ON position
the IR sen-
sor will turn the mic on and off
based on the presence of a per-
son in front of the mic. You can
mute the mic by pressing and
holding the top on/off button. In
this setting the top button acts
like a "push-to-mute" button.
In the TOGGLE position
the
SGM microphone toggles on and
off each time you momentarily
press the top on/off button. In this
setting the IR sensor is disabled.
In the PRESS position
the SGM
microphone stays on as long as
you press and hold the top on/off
button. In this "push to talk" set-
ting the IR sensor is disabled.
NOTE:
You can disable the IR sensor (see the pre-
vious two pages) and the mic will stay stay on in all
cases - button and slider switch actions are ignored.
