Attached 6-foot cable
Adjustable swivel adapter

Setup

Follow these steps to set up your microphone:

Unpack the Microphone: Remove the microphone and its accessories from the packaging.
Connect to Audio Equipment: Plug the 6-foot cable's connector into the microphone input jack of your PA system, amplifier, or mixer. Ensure the connection is secure.
Position the Microphone: Attach the microphone to a stand using the adjustable swivel adapter. Adjust the angle and height for optimal sound capture. The omnidirectional polar pattern means it picks up sound equally from all directions.
Power On: Turn on your audio equipment and adjust the input gain or volume control for the microphone channel.

Operating Instructions

The RadioShack PA Omnidirectional Dynamic Microphone is designed for general-purpose audio capture. Its omnidirectional pattern makes it suitable for picking up sound from multiple sources around the microphone.

Speaking/Singing: Hold the microphone comfortably or position it on a stand. Speak or sing directly into the grille.
Volume Control: Adjust the volume on your connected audio equipment. Avoid setting the volume too high to prevent feedback or distortion.
Proximity Effect: Due to its omnidirectional nature, this microphone exhibits less proximity effect (bass boost when close to the source) compared to directional microphones.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your microphone:

Cleaning: Wipe the microphone body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
Storage: Store the microphone in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Cable Care: Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable. Coil it loosely when not in use.
Handling: Handle the microphone with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your microphone, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No Sound Output	Cable not connected properly. Audio equipment not powered on. Volume/gain too low on audio equipment. Faulty cable or microphone.	Ensure the microphone cable is securely plugged into both the microphone and the audio input. Verify that your PA system or amplifier is turned on. Increase the input gain or volume for the microphone channel. Test with a different cable or audio input if available.
Distorted Sound	Input gain too high. Microphone too close to sound source.	Reduce the input gain or volume on your audio equipment. Increase the distance between the microphone and the sound source.
