• Make sure not to use any more makeup than ab-
solutely necessary. Too much makeup will clog the
foam cells and thus change the sound of the micro-
phone.
To boost the high-frequency
response by 3 dB in the range
around 12 kHz, you can re-
place the microphone cap with
the supplied PB 77 presence
boost cap:
1. Hold the microphone arm
pointing straight up in or-
der not to lose the mois-
ture shield.
2. Unscrew the microphone cap CCW.
3. Screw the PB 77 presence boost cap on CW.
1. Unscrew the microphone cap CCW.
2. Remove the moisture shield and place the new moisture
shield on the microphone capsule.
3. Screw the microphone cap back on CW.
• If you mount two microphones on the behind-the-neck
headband of the HC 577 L, make sure to place the re-
quired two bodypack transmitters as far from each
other as possible to avoid mutual interference be-
tween the transmitter signals.
The complete microphone arm with microphone capsule, cable,
and connector as well as the microphone arm holder and cable
holder are available separately from the AKG Service Center at
AKG Vienna (service@akg.com).
