2. CVG12RS: Mute is indicated by a light ring on
the microphone head:
• Red = Microphone is on
• Off = Microphone is muted
Installation
1. Drill a 22 mm (7/8 in.) hole in the mounting surface for the flange and three additional holes for the screws.
2. Screw the flange into place, and then set the microphone into the center hole.
3. Connect the microphone to a mixer or P.A. system using an XLR cable.
Note: This microphone requires +48V phantom power to operate.

nal level is equivalent to cartridge output at specified SPL
[3] S/N ratio is the difference between 94 dB SPL and
equivalent SPL of self noise, A-weighted
