- Adjusting Position: Gently bend the gooseneck to adjust the microphone's height and angle. Ensure the microphone head is pointed towards the sound source (e.g., the speaker's mouth) for the best audio quality, leveraging its cardioid pickup pattern.
- Volume Control: Adjust the input volume on your connected audio mixer or sound system. The microphone itself does not have a volume control.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Glemm DMC972 microphone, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the microphone and base. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Battery Replacement: When the red indicator light dims or the audio quality deteriorates, it's time to replace the batteries. Always replace both 1.5V batteries simultaneously with new ones. Remove batteries if the microphone will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Storage: Store the microphone in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
- Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the microphone to strong impacts, as this can damage the delicate internal components.
