1. Fix the microphone to the supplied lavalier clip or to the optional H 41/1 tiepin.
2. Clamp the microphone on your clothing as close as possible to the talker's mouth.
• Remember that gain-before-feedback will be the higher the closer the microphone sits
to the user's mouth!
3. Make sure to aim the microphone at the user's mouth.
1. Put the microphone on.
2. Bend the gooseneck so that the mi-
crophone will sit to one side in front
of the corner of your mouth.
Note:
• 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 overempha-
sized unnaturally), move the micro-
phone 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 sup-
plied windscreen to the microphone.
1. Slide the windscreen onto the microphone capsule.
2. Pull the windscreen over the outer edge of the microphone capsule.
