2. Connect XLR cable from rear output to m xer or ampl f er
3. Insert m crophone w th XLR connector on top of table stand
4. Check pos t on ng of m crophone and sett ngs of amp/m xer for poss ble feedback s tuat ons
before sw tch ng on
5. Act vate phantom power from m xer/amp
6. Allow a few seconds of settl ng before sw tch ng s completely free no se
7. Sw tch m crophone on/off us ng front button on table stand depend ng on requ red

F nction description:
The table stand perm ts sw tch ng of a connected balanced dynam c or an act ve condenser
m crophone w th a 3 or 5 p n XLR male connector.
Connect on to the ampl f er or preampl f er s establ shed us ng the 3 or 5 p n bu lt- n male XLR plug.
An electron c mut ng c rcu t perm ts cl ck and pop free sw tch ng of the m crophone.
The m crophone l nes are shorted nternally for mut ng the s gnal.
The c rcu t draws ts supply current from the phantom power supply of the connected ampl f er or
m xer. The supply current of the table stand s very low, leav ng almost the complete phantom supply
to the connected m crophone.
Operation controls:
YELLOW LED: Shows act v ty of phantom power supply. Mut ng c rcu t s powered.
RED LED: Mut ng nact ve, m crophone connected to ampl f er/m xer
BUTTON ANTHRACITE: m crophone s gnal s sw tched to ampl f er when the button st pressed
(push-button operat on): #29374, #29377
BUTTON GRAY: m crophone s gnal can be sw tched on and off w th the button
(sw tch operat on): #29373, #29375

Tro bleshooting:
Yellow LED s dark:
-No phantom supply, no cable to amp/preamp, or cable defect ve.
-A condenser m crophone s not powered up and w ll not operate.
-A balanced dynam c m crophone w ll work ndependent of the sw tch cond t on, because the l nes
are connected to the amp by default and the nact ve electron c c rcu t cannot short the l nes to mute
them.
Yellow LED s dark although phantom supply s connected and on:
-Unbalanced m crophone shorts the phantom supply
-Short of s gnal l nes to ground n m crophone, cable or ampl f er
-Another connect on to the ampl f er shorts the phantom supply.
-Another source connected to the same ampl f er shorts the phantom supply.
Red LED stays dark on push ng the button
'-If yellow LED s also dark, check "Yellow LED s dark" reasons above.'
-Button colour s anthrac te: Th s s push-button operat on. Releas ng the button w ll d sconnect
the s gnal, red LED goes dark aga n.
-Otherw se: Table stand defect ve
Microphone signal distorted:
Few condenser m crophones use very h gh phantom power. Espec ally types w th 3p n XLR and
mplemented d ode l ght r ng can lower the phantom supply too much, so the electron c mut ng c rcu t
does not work properly anymore.
Diode ring always on:
On 3 p n XLR m crophones w th d ode l ght r ng the l ght turns on w th act vat on of the phantom
power.
As the table stand does not sw tch on/off the phantmo power to the m crophone, but shorts the + and -
l ne, th s k nd of d ode r ng w ll always be on as soon as pahntom power s connected.
No remote control on 5 pin XLR:
The 5 p n XLR rear connector s suppl ed for cabl ng compat b l ty. P ns 4 and 5 are not w red by
default. Pls check w th K+M for table stands w th w red p ns 4 and 5.
