Using the Procaster
• The Procaster™ is a broadcast-grade end-address
microphone, and for optimum results you should address the
microphone at a distance of no more than 5cm (2”).
• The Procaster™ comes complete with a microphone stand-
mount (RM2) which should be used to attach the microphone
to a good quality stand.
The stand-mount includes a thread adaptor allowing
connection to either 3/8” or 5/8” stand threads.
Alternatively the PSM1 shock mount is optionally available to
isolate the microphone from external vibrations.
• Always use a high quality microphone cable and ensure that it
is wired Pin 1 shield, Pin 2 (+), Pin 3 (-).
• After use the Procaster™ should be wiped with a dry, soft
cloth and placed in its protective zip pouch.
• An absorbent crystal pack is supplied with the Procaster™.
This should stay in the zip pouch at the head of the
microphone when not in use to prevent any build up of
moisture.
When the crystals turn pink, they can be dryed out in an oven
at 100 - 150 degrees celsius for approximately ten minutes.
Once they turn blue they can be reused.
