Thank you for purchasing the LyxPro CMG-50 Shotgun Microphone.
The LyxPro CMG-50 Shotgun Microphone is designed especially for
use with video cameras. Low noise and optional battery operation
make this mic ideal for professional lm, video, and television
production applications, in the eld or in the studio. Due to its high
directivity, the CMG-50 picks up sound directly from where the
camera is pointing and eectively diminishes noise from the sides
and rear.

Safety Precautions
• Use this product only for its intended purpose.
• Do not immerse any part of the product in water or other liquids.
• Do not use the product in a humid environment or near water.
• Do not expose the product to direct sunlight, heat sources, or
open ames.
• Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings when operating
the product.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the housing.
• Do not connect to non-compatible devices.
Connecting to Power Source
• The CMG-50 uses a P48V phantom power supply (included with
most professional video cameras or mixing consoles). In addition,
this microphone can also be powered by an internal 1.5V AA battery.
• To insert battery, turn the base of the microphone counterclockwise.
• Slide the cover to open the battery compartment (The cover will
not come o entirely. Do NOT force it). Insert the battery,
matching the polarity (+/-).
• Close the battery cover and turn the base of the microphone
clockwise. Do NOT over-tighten.
• To preserve battery life, remove the battery from the microphone
when not in use.
General Operation
• This microphone incorporates a switchable high pass lter. This
is used to remove low frequency noise that is not part of your
intended sound source. This will aect the tonal characteristics,
so it is important to listen to the sound with and without the HPF
in circuit to decide if it is appropriate for the source.
• The HPF is activated by a recessed switch located above the
battery compartment. A small screwdriver should be used to
access the switch as it is designed to prevent accidental toggling.
• This microphone comes with a foam windscreen. Use of this
windscreen helps prevent sound interference caused by breezes
or wind.
• When using the microphone outside in heavy winds, a more heavy-
duty windscreen may be needed to provide additional protection.
