1. Install two screws into the mounting surface, exactly 24 mm (15/16 in.) apart.
Leave a 5 mm (3/16 in.) gap between the screw head and the mounting surface.
Only use screws with a flat-bottom head.
2. Place the microphone onto the screws and slide backwards to lock into place.
3. Connect the XLR cable to a mixer or P.A. system.
Note: This microphone requires +48V phantom power to operate.
Microphone Placement
Use the following information to achieve the best results for each model variation.
① Cardioid
The cardioid model captures sound in front of the microphone and rejects off-axis
sounds. It is best suited to capture one person or a small group in close proximity to
one another.
② Omnidirectional
The omnidirectional model captures sound from all angles. It is ideal for capturing
larger groups and sounds coming from multiple directions.
