The OMNITRONIC IM-500 is a condenser microphone with cardioid characteristic designed for studio and live applications and is ideally suited for direct or overhead sound pick-up of acoustic and electric instruments. The microphone is supplied with a stand holder and a windshield. For operation, the microphone requires 9-52 V phantom power.

Safety Instructions

Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers. Damage, caused by manual modifications on this device is not subject to warranty. If the microphone is used for other purposes than originally intended or if it is not correctly connected, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void.

Protect the microphone against humidity and heat. The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C.

Setting into Operation

Screw the holder onto a stand with 1.5 cm thread. For stands with 1 cm thread use the supplied adapter screw. Insert the microphone into the holder from above. Connect the microphone via a balanced microphone cable with 3-pin XLR plug to the XLR microphone input equipped with phantom power of your audio unit (e.g. mixing console). If the audio unit does not provide any phantom power, connect the microphone to the audio unit via a phantom power supply unit (e.g. OMNITRONIC LH051). Place the windshield, if required.
