Installation
1. Drill a 22 mm (7/8 in.) hole in the mounting surface for the flange and three additional holes for the screws.
2. Screw the flange into place, and then set the microphone into the center hole.
3. Connect the microphone to a mixer or P.A. system using an XLR cable.
Note: This microphone requires +48V phantom power to operate.
Mute Button Operation
Press the button on the microphone body to turn
the mute on/off. The standard model does not feature a mute button.
1. CVG12S: Mute is indicated by an LED on the
microphone body:

2. CVG12RS: Mute is indicated by a light ring on
the microphone head:
• Red = Microphone is on
• Off = Microphone is muted
Guidelines For Use
1. Maintain a distance of approximately 15 - 30 cm
(6 - 12 in.) between the sound source and the
