Operation

Operation

Turning the microphone boom

The microphone boom can be rotated, allowing the micro­phone to be worn on the left or right-hand side of the head.

Putting on the headset

When putting on the headset, the patented two-piece head­band adjusts automatically.

Operation

Positioning the microphone

Bend the flexible microphone boom so that the microphone is placed at the corner of the mouth. Maintain a distance of 2
cm between microphone and mouth. Always use the sup-
plied wind and pop screen.
Do not position the microphone directly in front of your mouth as it will pick up your breathing and plosive noises from your mouth. In addition, moisture can adversely affect the sound and performance of your microphone.
When attaching the sound inlet basket, make sure that it locks into place with an audible click.
Make sure not to cover the sound inlet.
