How to use

Connect the microphone to a compatible microphone input or mixer using an appropriate XLR cable and set input gain on the mixing console to a suitable level for the performer. Hold the microphone at a comfortable distance from the mouth or instrument and angle it to minimise plosives and unwanted noise. Adjust equalisation and gain on the mixing desk as needed for the venue and voice or instrument timbre.

Recommendations

Use a windscreen or pop filter for close vocal work to reduce plosive sounds; check gain staging on the mixer to avoid clipping; store the microphone in a padded case when not in use to protect the capsule and grille.
