Nady Systems SPR3 User Manual

quality microphone is designed to provide top performance in all live stage and public address applications.

USING YOUR SP-R3

The SP-R3 can be used with any standard mixer, powered mixer/amplifier, or mic preamp. Using either an XLR to XLR

or XLR to 1/4" phone plug low impedance cable, connect the female XLR end to the SP-R3, and the other end (male

XLR or 1/4", as appropriate) to your equipment.

of the mic during use, as this can degrade the performance.

all microphones are prone to feedback to some extent, those with a unidirectional polar pattern (such as the SP-R3)

are specially designed to accept only signals from the audio source directly in front of the mic cartridge. Thus, the car-

dioid pattern of the SP-R3 ensures that it will deliver only the desired audio in front of the mic, rejecting the unwanted

audio from the rear, even in noisy ambient conditions with high sound pressure levels from the PA. and monitor speak-

audio with the mixer.

PRECAUTIONS AND CARE OF YOUR SP-R3

• The microphone should never be dropped or subjected to extreme shock. Store only in a padded case to protect it

during transport.

• Keep the microphone away from extremely high temperatures (above 140°F or 60°C )and humidity. Avoid leaving the

• When using the microphone outdoors, avoid getting it wet.

• After use in a high-moisture application such as a a stage performance, wipe off the microphone with a dry cloth and

• To protect the mic cartridge and ensure the longest possible useful life, it is highly recommended that for vocal appli-

cations, an external foam windscreen be used over the ball grille. This will prevent the buildup of saliva and perspira-

tion on the cartridge diaphragm, which degrades performance and shortens the useful life of the microphone. Such a

wind "sock" will also eliminate wind noise when the mic is used in a windy outdoor environment.
