INTRODUCTION

Thank you for investing in the PinMic™.

Whether you’re presenting for television or live on-stage,
in a 20,000 seat auditorium or in a house of worship,
has your needs covered with the intuitive and subtle PinMic™.

Featuring innovative, industry-leading design, the
PinMic™ is the fi rst of its kind. The pin-on placement of the
microphone provides an ultra discreet appearance, while also
simplifying cable management.

The included mini-furry for high wind protection ensures
quality recordings in adverse environments, while the anti­trauma water resistant case provides rugged and secure
protection for the microphone, cable and accessories.

Knowing that versatility is paramount in any product, we at

have developed the MiCon™ connector system
which provides seamless integration between the PinMic™
and a wide range of wireless systems.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and register
