Fig. 3: Microphone position on
the head.
1. Put the microphone on as shown in fig. 3.
2. Bend the microphone arm so that the microphone will sit in front of
the corner of the user's mouth, as close as possible to the mouth.
3. In order to adjust the headband to the user's head, you can bend the
metal parts to shape (white arrows) and slide the side piece WITH-
OUT the microphone arm in and out within the plastic center piece
(black arrows). (The side piece carrying the microphone arm is not
movable.)
Never try to bend the plastic center piece! The plastic material
would return to its original shape and break if overstressed,
voiding the warranty.
If (for instance, in outdoor use) excessive wind or pop noise becomes
audible, attach the supplied windscreen to the microphone.
The optional W 77 M wire-mesh windscreen in black or flesh-tone is
even less visible.
To clean metal surfaces, use industrial spirits or alcohol .
To clean plastic surfaces, use a soft cloth moistened with water.
Never use benzine or solvents!
If perspiration or makeup should penetrate into the microphone capsule:
1. Unscrew the microphone case CCW from the microphone arm.
2. Move the case rapidly back and forth in distilled water.
The case is connected to ground. If you use tap water to clean
the case, furring may interrupt the ground connection and
cause hum. Therefore, use distilled water only.
3. Allow the case to dry completely.
4. Screw the case back on the microphone arm CW.
