Features
Your new Sabine Phantom Mic RiderTM is the first
phantom-powered DSP unit that provides these five
powerful features:
• FBX Feedback Exterminator
Increases gain before feedback.
• Automatic Gain Control
Helps maintain level as you move toward and
away from the mic.
• Proximity Effect Control
Reduces the excess bass sound as you get
closer to the mic - maintains flat frequency
response at all distances from the mic.
• Plosive Control
Reduces the loud pops and bursts from certain
consonant sounds in speech.
• Infrared Gate
Mutes the mic when no one is in front of it using
the included infrared sensor.

Installing the Phantom
1. Mute the audio channel for the microphone you have
selected to use with the Phantom. Remove the mic from the
base or podium and set it aside.
2. Plug the Phantom (PMR-GP1) into the same base
connector as the mic, as shown in Figure 1. The Phantom
requires phantom power - when you plug in the Phantom you
should see the LED turn green indicating phantom power is
present.
3. Plug the microphone into the top of the Phantom. Plug in
the IR Sensor and connect the cable to the gooseneck using
the supplied clips, as shown in Figure 2. For best results
install the sensor and cable with the gooseneck pointed
straight up - this will give enough slack in the cable to account
for any movement while in use.
4. If necessary you can change the orientation of the
Phantom so it conforms to the connector on your mic base or
podium. See the instructions on page 7.
5. Activate (un-mute) the mic and check for normal audio
operation. Turn to the next page and begin the Setup
Procedure.

If necessary you can change the orientation of the Phantom
so it conforms to the connector on your mic base or podium,
as shown in Figure 3.
1. Use the included Allen wrench and loosen the set screws
as shown in Figure 3.
2. Turn the body of the Phantom one half turn counter-clockwise – no more!
3. Tighten the set screws on both sides of the Phantom case
and be sure they seat into the connector - just like they did
originally. Continue installing as shown in Step 3 on page 6.
