Setup

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove the microphones, microphone holders, and hard case from their packaging.
2. Attach Microphone Holders: Screw each microphone holder onto a standard 16mm microphone stand thread. Ensure it is securely fastened.
3. Insert Microphones: Gently insert each microphone into its respective holder.
4. Connect to Amplifier: Use an XLR cable (not included) to connect the microphone's XLR output to an input on your amplifier or mixing console. Ensure the amplifier is compatible with XLR inputs.
5. Power On: If your amplifier requires it, ensure phantom power is off unless specifically needed for a different type of microphone. These dynamic microphones do not require phantom power.

Operating

1. Microphone On/Off Switch: Each microphone is equipped with an ON/OFF switch. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to activate the microphone. Slide to "OFF" when not in use to prevent unwanted noise and save power if connected to a battery-powered device.
2. Positioning: For optimal sound capture, position the microphone appropriately for the sound source. These microphones feature a unidirectional polar pattern, meaning they are most sensitive to sound coming from the front, helping to reduce feedback and background noise.
3. Volume Control: Adjust the input gain or volume level on your connected amplifier or mixing console to achieve the desired audio level without distortion.
4. Recommended Uses: This microphone set is suitable for various applications including Live Vocal Performances, Video Production, Conference Calls, and Karaoke.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the microphone body. For the grille, a soft brush can be used to remove dust or debris. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the microphone.
• Storage: When not in use, store the microphones and accessories in the provided robust hard case. This protects them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
• Handling: Handle microphones with care. Avoid dropping them or exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound Output:
  • Ensure the microphone's ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Check all cable connections between the microphone and the amplifier/mixer. Ensure XLR cables are fully inserted.
  • Verify the amplifier/mixer is powered on and the correct input channel is selected.
  • Increase the gain or volume on the amplifier/mixer.
  • Test with a different XLR cable or input channel if available.
• Poor Sound Quality / Distortion:
  • Reduce the input gain on your amplifier/mixer if the sound is distorted.
  • Ensure the microphone is not too close to the sound source, causing "clipping."
  • Check for loose connections or damaged cables.
  • Ensure the microphone grille is clean and free of debris.
• Feedback (High-pitched squealing):
  • Move the microphone further away from speakers.
  • Reduce the overall volume or the specific microphone's gain.
  • Adjust the microphone's position relative to speakers, utilizing its unidirectional pattern.
