An XLRM-type connector insert at the base allows the microphone to be plugged directly into an XLRF-type panel jack or microphone cable.

The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing with a low-reectance black nish.

Installation and Operation

Output is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins 2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot”— positive acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.

Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen. An accumulation of iron or steel lings on the diaphragm, and/or foreign material in the windscreen’s mesh surface, can degrade performance.
