HOW TO USE
Installing a Battery
Open the battery lid located on the power module.
Insert the dry cell battery (AA / R6P: available sepa-
rately) observing polarity (+/-). Close the battery lid.
Do not use rechargeable batteries. They do not perform
well due to insucient voltage.
Set the power module switch to “ ”.
Set the switch to the “OFF” position when the per-
formance ends.
Using with phantom power
e battery is not required if your audio equipment
has a phantom power supply.
When a Phantom Power supply is connected, the unit
is ON regardless of the Power Switch position.
Attach the Power Module
Attach the power module using included belt-clip
onto a belt or other suitable location on your clothing.
Use a pocket if clothing does not have a belt.
Hook-Up
Connect the microphone to the “mini-XLR” jack on
the power module and suitable microphone cable
(XLR type: available separately) into the standard
“XLR” jack.
Both plugs have a lock function. Press the button to
unlock and remove the cable.
Using the "Eyeball" holder
e HMH-100 is most effective when used with the
“Eyeball” holder due to the close proximity of the mi-
crophone to the Harmonica.
ⒶBring the cable to the back of the hand
Using the “Eyeball” holder in this way will obtain
good playability. It is advantageous to pass through
the sleeve. See illustration above.
ⒷBring the cable to the front of the hand
Alternatively you may pass the cable in front of your
hand. Refer to the illustration above.
Ensure the cable is handled gently, do not pull or bend
the cable.
ⒸWith the hook and loop fastener
e “Eyeball” holder can be used with the included
hook and loop fastener thus avoiding accidental drop-
ping of the microphone because the hook and loop
fastener is attached to the operators finger.

Using lavalier clip
It is possible to attach the microphone onto a lapel or
neck-tie. However, loudness is slightly less than when
used with the “Eyeball” holder.
Attach the microphone to the lavalier clip arranging
the cable as shown in the illustration above.
Ensure the cable is handled gently, do not pull or bend
the cable.
Reduce wind noise
We recommend using the included wind shield (pop
filter) with your HMH-100 microphone to reduce
wind noise. It is also possible to reduce wind noise by
setting the switch to the “ ” position which cuts
low frequency.
ⒶAttach to clothing
ⒷWith the hook and loop fastener
e lavalier clip can also be used with the hook and
loop fastener attached to your finger as shown in the
above illustration. is avoids accidental dropping of
the microphone when the hand has opened.
is is effective due to the close proximity of the mi-
crophone to your harmonica.
