HANDLING & PRECAUTIONS
Covering and/or obstructing the microphone top mesh grill and internal mic receiver diaphragm element will result in less than optimal performance, causing audio distortion and interfered sound signal. To avoid such audio interferences try decreasing the audio source’s volume, then position the microphone diaphragm so that it is not directly pointed or exposed to the external audio source; allow sufficient separation distance between the microphone and external audio source. The microphone internal system contains sensitive audio equipment and electronic components, do not drip, hit or expose to forceful impact. Do not store or operate the microphone in a high temperature, or high humidity, environment.
OPERATION & PERFORMANCE
The optimum placement distance of the microphone and vocals (distance from your mouth to the microphone grill) is from 5 to 10 centimes. If the microphone placement is too close to your mouth, the sound and audio pickup performance may be unclear, outputting excessive bass and distortion in the audio tone.
MICROPHONE CONNECTION
Align the output connector with the slotted insert of the incoming connection cable — ensure the connector alignment is positioned properly and adequate pressure is used when inserting the connection (you may hear a “click” sound to ensure proper connection). To unplug the microphone, hold down the button tab, and ensure it is depressed, then pull the connection cable outward gently

FAQs
What is the best way to use a handheld mic for good results?****
Maintain a steady distance and angle between the mic and your mouth (or the mouth of your subject). The ideal distance to the mouth is between 15 and 20 cm. Any more than this will cause the voice to weaken and other noises to become more audible.
On what principle does a moving coil microphone works?
Michael Faraday demonstrated electromagnetic induction in the 1830s, and this is the basis on which a moving coil microphone operates. He claimed that anytime a magnet is moved in relation to a coil, a current that is proportionate to the motion of the magnet is produced in the coil.
Which type of microphone is usually the most accurate?
Condenser microphones are the most precise because they can follow the pressure fluctuations of sound waves considerably more closely than dynamic microphones can because they don’t have a hefty coil on the back of their diaphragm.
What are the rules of microphone handling?
Hold the microphone as near to your mouth as you can. Place the microphone close to your chest when not speaking or halting in the middle of it. Don’t handle the microphone too much.
What is a handheld microphone used for?
Any microphone that is held in the hand and used to record human speech is referred to as a “hand-mic.” A wide range of situations, including musical performances and television interviews, call for the usage of hand-mics
What is a handheld microphone and how is it used?
Although they are made to be held in the hand, handheld mics can also be attached to a microphone stand for use when singing, speaking, playing the guitar, etc.
Do moving coil microphones create self-noise?
A moving-coil microphone’s self-noise is only the thermal noise produced by the device’s output impedance, which is essentially just the moving coil’s DC resistance plus that of a hum bucking coil (if used) and the output transformer.
Which type of microphone works on electricity?
Condenser microphones work by converting acoustic vibrations into an electrical current using a capacitor (or condenser). That implies that they require a power source, such as 48V phantom power, to function. Additionally, it means that they produce a louder signal and are much more sensitive than dynamic or ribbon microphones.
How does the microphone technology work?
An electroacoustic instrument, the microphone transforms acoustic energy into electrical energy. A mechanical system—typically a diaphragm—is used in this conversion, and a sound field causes it to oscillate. An electromechanical coupling then transforms the mechanical movement into an electrical signal.
What causes microphone noise?
Every microphone produces sound. Or, to put it more precisely, noise is produced by both an electron current and the air molecules that surround the microphone diaphragm.
How does a moving coil microphone create electrical signals?
A tiny magnet is used in the dynamic microphone’s construction, and it oscillates inside a coil that is fastened to the diaphragm. When a sound wave causes the microphone’s diaphragm to vibrate, the magnet and coil’s relative motion induces an electrical signal through magnetic induction.
How much power does a microphone use?
microphones that run on a 9 to 48 volt power supply. Higher phantom voltages have no performance advantages for these microphones. Mics that are made to run on 48 volts of phantom power will still function at lower voltages but with less headroom. microphones that cannot operate at lower voltages and need 48 volts of phantom power.
Can noise damage microphones?
A loud sound generally has very little chance of harming a microphone. A dynamic microphone is capable of handling SPLs greater than 150dB. That volume cannot be produced without sticking a microphone in a jet engine’s exhaust.
What do you call a handheld microphone?
Handheld microphones, also known as stick microphones, are the kind you see on concert stages or in a field reporter’s hands.
