INSTALLATION AND USER INSTRUCTIONS
7 TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
7.1 HOW TO IDENTIFY AND SOLVE PROBLEMS
Error Cause Solution
Zipper is stuck 1. Zipper is not attached
properly.
2. Material is stuck between the zippers.
3. Another zipper handle may be stuck between the zippers.
1. Try to reconnect the zippers carefully.
2. See if there is any material stuck between the zippers. If so, carefully pull on the zipper while pulling out the material.
3. Drag down the zipper, use your nger to push away the zipper handle that may have gotten stuck.
Microphone does not t
1. Microphone is not a studio condenser mic.
2. Microphone is a dynamic mic that needs to be mounted horizontally.
3. Microphone has the 3/8” adaptor in the mounting hole.
1. Please check with your dealer if your mic is supported.
2. ISOVOX 2 is not designed for use with dynamic microphones.
3. Remove the 3/8” adaptor (this is often golden). After you have removed this, it will t the internal mic pole of ISOVOX 2.
Can't mount my own shock mount
1. You have tried the wrong method.
2. It has the 3/8” adaptor in the mounting hole.
1. Hold the 5/8” tting over the Mic Pole (Part B), and screw the Mic Pole onto the Shock Mount.
2. Remove the 3/8” adaptor (often this is golden). After you have removed this, it will t the internal mic pole of ISOVOX 2.
Adjust the height of the stand
See the instructions that came from the manufacturer of the stand.
OSRAM LED-STIXX Lamp not working
1. AAA batteries need to be changed.
1. Unscrew the white end at the opposite side of the on/off switch. Pull out the battery holder in the same direction as the on/off switch. Replace the batteries. Make sure to recycle your old batteries, and keep them away from children. See the included manual from OSRAM for further details.
Neighbors hearing me
1. The unit is not height adjusted properly.
2. You have unusually thin walls.
1. Adjust the height so that there is some room for your shoulders, but not too much.
2. Place the ISOVOX 2 as far as possible from your closest neighbor.
The unit seems unstable and may fall
1. The oor stand is not set up properly.
2. You have mounted the
base plate
in the wrong
direction.
3. You have set the height over the acceptable and recommended limit = 178 cm (70 in) and/or not extended the tripod feet to their minimum. The required radius is 60 cm (24 in).
1. See the oor-stand manual supplied by the manufacturer. Usually when it’s unstable, it’s because the feet are not fully extended.
2. Check if you have mounted the
base plate
in the right direction.
See Installation of the product.
3. Lower the height to stabilize.
The included Flex­Mount does not t my microphone
1. You have not squeezed enough.
2. My microphone falls out of the arms of the Flex Mount 2.
1. Carefully squeeze the arms of the Flex Mount 2 onto the body of your microphone. It will ex and adapt to the diameter of your microphone.
2. If the microphone falls out of the Flex Mount then it is too small or too big. Please use your own shock mount instead or buy an OnStage MY330, which will usually work well with larger microphones.
