Introduction
Thank you for choosing Senal.
Senal’s CX-series Professional Boundary Microphones are sleek, low-profile microphones
that are designed for capturing voices. Both omnidirectional and cardioid models are
perfect for video conferences, lectures, and meetings.
The CX-series microphones integrate into most AV conferencing systems or sound
systems. Balanced output minimizes unwanted RF interference and noise, even
over long cable runs, and a high-pass filter minimizes room noise and low-end
rumble. The microphones’ low-profile design offers an inconspicuous appearance
and an unobstructed view. Rugged metal housing protects the mic capsule, and the
nonskid padding keeps the microphone stable on a tabletop or lectern.

Setting Up
To set up your room with omnidirectional or cardioid CX
microphones, refer to the illustrations below.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The CXBM-620/C rejects off-axis noise. Use it in rooms with
inadequate acoustic treatment or in spaces where background
noise is problematic. The CXBM-620/C will capture the voice of the
person sitting directly in front of it while it minimizes room noise
and reverberation.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The CXBM-620/O microphone picks up sound in a 360-degree
pattern. Use it in quiet rooms with adequate acoustic treatment.
Microphones set in the center of the table will pick up all
participants seated around it.

Instructions
Using the CX Boundary Microphone
Each application of the CX Boundary Microphone will be slightly different. The following
scenarios cover frequently used setup.
Live Lecture/Sound Reinforcement
Ideal in an auditorium or house of
worship where a voice needs to be
amplified for an audience.
Note: CX-series microphones
need phantom power in order to
operate.
Video and Audio Conferencing
CX-series microphones are
compatible with most audio and
video conferencing systems. Refer
to the conferencing system’s user
manual for setup instructions.

Powering the CX Microphone
The CX-series microphones operate on phantom power. Once connected to the power
source, the CX Boundary Mic is ready to work.
Important! When integrating the CX Boundary Mic into a video or audio conferencing
system, or using it with a mixing board, make sure that phantom power is enabled.
High Pass Filter
Activate the High Pass Filter when using the microphone in rooms with inadequate
acoustic treatment or constant noise from air conditioning, fans, or lights.
To roll off low frequencies, use the tip of a pen or a similar pointed object to switch the
high-pass filter to the on position.
Muting
CX-series microphones are equipped with an easy-touch membrane mute button. To
mute the microphone while in use, press the mute button. The indicator LED will turn off
to show that the microphone has been muted.
Press the mute button again to resume operation.

Problem Solution
The microphone
is connected, but
there’s no sound.
• Make sure that both XLR connectors on the cable are fully inserted into the
plugs on the microphone and input device (conferencing system or mixing
board).
• Make sure you are connected to an XLR port with phantom power, and that
the phantom power is turned on.
• If the indicator LED is off, touch the mute button to unmute the micro-
phone.
• Refer to the user manual of your AV conferencing system to ensure the
input settings are correct.
