C 555 L Head-Worn Microphone; Putting On The Microphone; Windscreen; Moisture Shield - AKG WMS 40 FLEXX Mode D'emploi

3. Make sure to aim the microphone at the user's mouth.
1. Put the microphone on.
2. Bend the gooseneck so that the microphone will sit to one side in front
of the corner of your mouth.
• You can adjust the microphone to conform exactly to the shape of the
user's head. For details, refer to the C 555 L instruction manual which
you can download from www.akg.com.
• Should you hear excessive pop noise ("p" and "t" sounds are overem-
phasized unnaturally), move the microphone capsule further away
from your mouth (up or back).
• If the microphone sounds "thin" or flat, move the microphone capsule
closer to your mouth (refer to fig. 3).
• Find the optimum position during the soundcheck.
If (for instance, in outdoor use) excessive wind or pop noise becomes
audible, attach the supplied windscreen to the microphone.
1. Slide the windscreen onto the microphone capsule.
2. Pull the windscreen over the outer edge of the microphone capsule.
A special moisture shield on the microphone capsule makes it difficult
for moisture and makeup to penetrate into the microphone. This barrier
prevents the microphone sound entries from being clogged by perspira-
tion or makeup, which would make the sound dull and reduce the sensi-
tivity of the microphone. Therefore, never remove the moisture shield
from the microphone!
In case the moisture shield is damaged or lost, the C 555 L head-worn
microphone includes a replacement moisture shield.
• Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the receiver and trans-
mitter surfaces.
1. Unscrew the wire-mesh cap of the handheld transmitter CCW and re-
move the wire-mesh cap from the transmitter.
2. Remove the windscreen (foam sheet) from the wire-mesh cap.
3. Wash the windscreen in mild soap suds.
4. As soon as the windscreen has dried, replace it in the wire-mesh cap
and screw the wire-mesh cap onto the transmitter CW.
