Operating Instructions

Once the V7 MC2 capsule is securely attached to your Sennheiser wireless transmitter, you can begin operation:

• Power On: Turn on your Sennheiser wireless transmitter according to its specific instructions.
• Positioning: Hold the microphone capsule approximately 1-6 inches (2.5-15 cm) from your mouth for optimal vocal capture. The supercardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, minimizing pickup from other sound sources.
• Gain Adjustment: Adjust the gain on your wireless receiver and/or mixing console to achieve a strong signal without clipping. The V7 MC2 is designed for high gain before feedback.
• Sound Quality: The custom aluminum voice coil ensures crisp and natural vocal clarity. Experiment with microphone distance and angle to find the best sound for your voice or instrument.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your V7 MC2 capsule:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the capsule. For the grille, a soft brush can be used to remove dust or debris. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the capsule or grille.
• Storage: Store the capsule in a protective case when not in use to prevent physical damage and exposure to dust or moisture.
• Internal Windscreen: The internal windscreens can be gently removed and cleaned with mild soap and water if necessary. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
• Gold-Plated Contacts: The gold-plated contacts are designed for reliability. Avoid touching them directly and ensure they remain clean and free of corrosion.
