Cleaning the product

Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it will last for a long time. Do not use alcohol, paint thinners or other solvents for cleaning purposes.

• To clean, wipe the main unit with a dry cloth.
• Wipe away perspiration and any other dirt from the cable with a dry cloth immediately after use. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in malfunction.
• Wipe the plug with a dry cloth if dirty. Failure to clean the plug may cause the sound to cut out and may cause noise.
• Wipe the earpads and head pad with a dry cloth if dirty. Perspiration or water on the earpads or head pad may cause discoloration. Wipe with a dry cloth and allow to dry in the shade.
• If the product will not be used for an extended period of time, store it in a well-ventilated place free from high temperatures and humidity.
• The earpads, head pad, and temple pad are consumable items. They will deteriorate over time due to use and storage, so replace them when necessary. For information about replacing earpads, head pad, or other parts, or for information about other serviceable parts, contact your local Audio-Technica dealer.

Using the product

You can use the microphone on the left or right side of your face by rotating the microphone boom as shown in the figure.

Positioning the microphone boom

Use the microphone boom and gooseneck to place the microphone in the correct position.

Position the microphone boom so that the microphone is about 20 mm (0.79”) from the tip of your mouth. Positioning the microphone directly in front of your mouth will cause popping and other noise from breathing.
