Operation Instructions

Assemble the shock mount onto the mic stand or boom arm, and tighten the fixing nut on the shock mount. It is recommended to keep the shock mount upwards and bottom screw downwards, to prevent accidental mic drop and damage in case of loose mic clamping.
The front side of the mic is the side with the power LED and silkscreened “PC-K220”. Face the front side towards the sound source. Install the mic onto the shock mount by tightening the bottom screws until fully secured.
Install the included foam windscreen onto the mic.
Align the lock button on XLR plug with the bottom socket on mic, then push the plug into the mic fully until it locks into place. Connect the other end of the XLR cable to an audio device (e.g., audio interface, mixer, power amp) with built-in 48V phantom power supply, or use an external 48V power supply (not included) if none；
Note: The phantom power supply requirement for this product is DC 48V±4V/2.8mA±20%.
①. Connection for audio device with built-in 48V phantom power: ② Connection for audio device without built-in 48V phantom power:
Fix the connection cable onto the mic stand or boom arm, and leave a section/loop of cable at the mic. This helps to effectively isolate the vibration.
Please turn the volume to the minimum on the audio device before switching on the phantom power. Then gradually increase the volume to an appropriate level. This helps to prevent speaker damage by high sound pressure. Keep a proper distance between mic and speakers, and try not to point the mic towards the speakers to avoid feedback howling.
The mic output uses a three-pin XLR male connector, as shown below:
