This manual should beretained for future reference.FOR UNITED STATES CUSTOMERS. NOT APPLICABLE IN CANADA, INCLUDING IN THEPROVINCE OF QUEBEC.POUR LES CONSOMMATEURS AUX ÉTATS-UNIS. NON APPLICABLE AU CANADA, YCOMPRIS LA PROVINCE DE QUÉBEC.Owner’s RecordThe model and serial numbers are located on the product.Record them in the space below and store safely.Model No.Serial No.Names and Functions of Parts (Fig.)(The numbers refer to the corresponding numbers in the figure.) Microphone PAD switchSelect the PAD switch to the level of input source.: Off: On LOW CUT switchThe low cut filter reduces the wind noise effectively.: Normal setting: The low cut filter is applied. Output connector (XLR-3-12C type)The sound recorded with the microphone is output. The power is supplied to themicrophone from an external equipment through this connector when the microphoneis operating on the external power supply. Cradle suspensionWhen using a microphone stand (not supplied), for example, attach the cradlesuspension to the microphone. RingBe sure to rotate and fix the ring after the microphone is equipped to the cradlesuspension. Unless done so, there is a risk the microphone will fall.Power SupplyThis microphone is powered only from an external power supply. Connect output connector of the microphone to the microphone connector of a Phantom power supply (externalpower supply) or an audio mixer. For connection, use a microphone cable.NoteAn unbalanced cable cannot be connected to this microphone. Be sure to use a balancedmicrophone cable.Precautions• Unless the unit is used correctly, water may get into the unit and cause fire, electrocution,or malfunctions. Note the following cautions carefully and use the unit correctly.Other notes• Microphones are delicate. Do not drop or subject it to excessive shock.• Avoid extended usage or storage in high humidity or temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F).It may cause noise or failure.• If acoustic feedback occurs during use (a howling sound is heard from the speakers),point the microphone away from the speakers or increase the distance between themicrophone and the speakers.• The microphone output signal is a balanced output. Unbalanced output is not supported,so be sure to connect it to the balanced input circuit.• Since the microphone adopts an extremely high impedance circuit, if the switch ischanged while the external power is on, it may emit induction noise, but this is not amalfunction.• A cable with the connector housing part connected to the ground wire (pin 1) isrecommended for the microphone cable. Cables that are not connected to a ground wiremay emit noise. If a ground terminal is available, noise can be reduced by connecting tothat terminal. Also, if used extending several microphone cables and the connectorhousing part touches the floor, noise may worsen.NoteAlways verify that the unit is operating properly before use.
