Notes on use

  • Make sure to hold the plug when connecting and disconnecting the cable. The cable may become severed or an accident may occur if you pull on the cable itself.
  • When using the cable, be careful not to twist it to prevent damage to the cable.
  • When plugging the cable into the microphone and the connected device, check that the connector is facing in the correct direction before inserting it straight. Inserting the connector or plug diagonally may cause a malfunction.
  • Be sure to slide the resonance cap as far as it will go onto the microphone so that it fits securely.
  • Push the windscreen all the way onto the microphone so that it attaches securely to the microphone’s base.
  • Remove the windscreen by pinching the plastic part at the base. If you pull only on the sponge part of the windscreen, the sponge part may be damaged.
