1. Put the microphone on.
2. Bend the gooseneck so that the microphone will sit to one side in front of the corner of
your mouth.
• You can adjust the microphone to conform exactly to the shape of the user's head. For
details, refer to the C 555 L instruction manual, which you can download from
www.akg.com.
• Should you hear excessive pop noise ("p" and "t" sounds are overemphasized unnatu-
rally), move the microphone capsule further away from your mouth (up or back).
• If the microphone sounds "thin" or flat, move the microphone capsule closer to your
mouth (refer to fig. 3).
• Find the optimum position during the soundcheck.
If (for instance, in outdoor use) excessive wind or pop noise becomes audible, attach the sup-
plied windscreen to the microphone.
1. Slide the windscreen onto the microphone capsule.
2. Pull the windscreen over the outer edge of the microphone capsule.
A special moisture shield on the microphone capsule makes it difficult for moisture and
makeup to penetrate into the microphone. This barrier prevents the microphone sound en-
tries from being clogged by perspiration or makeup, which would make the sound dull and
reduce the sensitivity of the microphone. Therefore, never remove the moisture shield from
the microphone!
In case the moisture shield is damaged or lost, the C 555 L head-worn microphone includes
a replacement moisture shield.
• Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the receiver and transmitter surfaces.
1. Unscrew the wire-mesh cap of the handheld transmitter CCW and remove the wire-
mesh cap from the transmitter.
2. Remove the windscreen (foam sheet) from the wire-mesh cap.
3. Wash the windscreen in mild soap suds.
4. As soon as the windscreen has dried, replace it in the wire-mesh cap and screw the wire-
mesh cap onto the transmitter CW.
