FEATURES AND SIZE

STILE 400H SET is composed of a 400mm Mini-shotgun Super-Cardioid Microphone and a robust 490g (ca. 17.28oz.) microphone base (batteries excluded) for maximum stability even in the case of accidental bumps on the microphone.
The solid connection of the microphone to the base is assured by a 3-pin CESS Aviation connector with safety thread, which eliminates any movements of the microphone. The internal circuit of the base offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI), an electronic switch with LED, and internal 3V or external 10-48V Phantom Power.
The mini-shotgun microphone delivers high-level performance, control, and flexibility for meetings and conferences. Its high-quality cartridge with super-cardioid polar pattern delivers good control in difficult acoustic conditions. The result is superior voice capture and lower pickup of room noise compared to standard cardioid gooseneck microphones. The bend at bottom allows precise placement.

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

• Reference sound-receiving distance is around 50cm far from the microphone
• Use foam windscreen to reduce breath noise or plosives
• Microphone head should not be toward speak- ers, in order to avoid feedback effect.
• Pay attention during gain/volume adjusting, in order to avoid feedback.
• In order to avoid overstretching, wear and tear, never bend the gooseneck more than 90°.

Battery Installation

• Use 2x 1.5V AA-Type Alkaline Batteries.
• Open the cover on base bottom.
• nsert the batteries following the “+” (plus) and “-“ (minus) signs shown inside the battery slot. y Close the cover.

Microphone Installation

NOTE: Before connecting the base output to your sound system, be sure that it is switched off or the amplifier volume is to minimum.

• Connect the supplied audio cable from the XLR behind the base to the mixer or sound system.
• Turn on the amplifier; switch the microphone on by pressing the button on the base (green LED should turn on).
• Adjust the amplifier volume slowly until achieve the best level.

Wiring Connections

XLR connectors report numbers near each pin. Wiring has direct correspondence between both male and female connectors (e.g. ground is pin 1 on both of them; in-phase signal is pin 2; and out-of-phase is pin 3).

1. = Ground / Shield / drain wire
2. = + / hot / In-phase signal
3. = – / cold / out-of-phase signal
