Features of the Ear Set 1 / Ear Set 4

• Transparent and skin-friendly hypoallergenic adhesive tape
ensures a perfect fit of the microphone boom even during
strong movements and provides strain relief for the cable

Putting into operation
Wearing the ear-worn microphones
Your ear-worn microphone comes
with a preinstalled connection cable
and is ready for operation on
delivery.
The Ear Set 1 with its omni-directional pick-up pattern can be worn
on the left or right ear.
Due to the directivity of its cardioid
pick-up pattern, the Ear Set 4 can
only be worn on the right ear.

Adjusting the earband to the shape of your ear
CAUTION! Damage to the earband
The earband can break or be impaired in its function
when the bend diameter is too small (< 2 cm) or
when you bend it close to the connector. Also avoid
frequent alternate bendings. If the earband breaks,
you can be injured.
왘 Adjust the earband to the shape of your ear as
described below.
왘 Put on the ear-worn micro-
phone. The earband has to
closely follow the shape of your
ear. To improve the wearing
comfort, make sure that the
end of the connector is placed
in front (A) or behind (B) the
microphone boom.
왘 Adjust the pre-bent earband to
the individual shape of your
ear. To do so, carefully bend the
earband over your index finger.
