• Avoid facing monitor or PA speakers into the mic.

• The optimum location for monitor speakers with super-cardioid
microphones is 120° o-axis.

• Setting monitor levels while singing close (<3 cm) to the mic is
best for avoiding feedback.

Mic Control

The MP-85 has a feature called Mic Control that allows the mic to engage or disengage an eect when
connected to a TC Helicon eect pedal. The setup for this functionality varies by product, so consult the
documentation for your eects unit. Note that a rmware update may be necessary in order for your
product to support mic control.
