• Always position your microphone so that it is as close to and as directly
connected to the audio source as possible.
• Hold your microphone as still as possible to prevent interference and wind
noise.
• Check the functionality and the transmitted volume (sound check) before
using the microphone.
• In case of feedback (loud screeching) immediately switch off the microphone
using the integrated on/off switch. Then eliminate the cause of the feedback,
e.g. by reducing the volume of the speakers or the input sensitivity (gain or
pad, where applicable) of your microphone input, and/or moving somewhat behind
your speaker(s) before switching the microphone back on.
