Boom microphone
The directional boom micro-
phone for the SCOLAtalk
transmitter is designed for
especially noisy environ-
ments. The advantage of
this microphone is that its
signal remains unchanged
even if the speaker turns
their head.
Placing the boom
microphone
Hang the microphone be-
hind the left ear
(Illustration 10).
Note:
Due to the directional-
ity of the microphone, we
recommend that the boom
microphone be worn on the
left ear.
