• Do not cover any part of the microphone grill with your hand, as this will
adversely affect microphone performance.
• Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source (such as the talker, sin-
ger, or instrument) and away from unwanted sources.
• Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired sound source.
• Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.
• For better gain before feedback, use fewer microphones.
• Keep the distance between microphones at least three times the distance from
each microphone to its source (“three to one rule”).
• Place microphones as far as possible from reective surfaces.
• Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors.
• Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical noise and vibration.

The RMP-XLR microphone connects via a 3-pin balanced XLR connector.
The closer you are to the microphone, the deeper and richer your voice will sound.
When your mouth is two inches or less from the microphone there is a signicant
increase to low frequencies giving your voice a bass heavy sound. This is known
as the proximity effect.
Singing directly into the microphone will pick-up on your breathing as well as
overemphasize certain sounds when speaking or singing. To achieve a well bal-
anced sound, sing or talk to one side of or above and across the microphone’s
top. This will give your voice a well-balanced, natural sound.
Feedback means that the sound from a speaker is picked up by the microphone,
sent back to the amplier and then out through the speakers. At certain volume
levels the system will make undesired noises. In order to increase gain before
feedback, this microphone has a supercardioid pattern. This means that its sen-
sitivity to sound is at its highest when the sound comes from the front of the mi-
crophone (facing you). This also minimizes pick-up of sounds from the sides or rear.
This microphone can be used for balanced and unbalanced applications. For bal-
anced XLR connections use an XLR cable. For unbalanced connections use a 1/4˝
TS jack plug to a female XLR cable. Be aware that when using a run longer than
16ft you may encounter humming caused by stray magnetic elds from power
cables, lighting cables, and other electric appliances.

SOLUTION
1. Ensure power mixer or amplier is on.
2. Check that the master volume is not set to 0.
3. Check all connections to ensure everything
is properly connected.
4. Check cables for cuts, nicks, or any other defects.
1. Gains not set properly.
2. Mixer input sensitivity is too high.
1. Clean internal and external windscreens.
Feedback can also be caused by the acoustics of the venue. In these instances
the proximity effect may cause feedback. In most cases, simply moving a little
away from the microphone may resolve the issue.
Avoid having more than two people sharing a microphone. Singing into the micro-
phone at an angle wider than 30° may require bringing up the microphone fader
level high enough to cause feedback.
Troubleshooting
Tip:
To minimize feed-
back avoid operating
the microphones in
close proximity of or
in front of speakers.
