Microphone Placement

For best low-frequency response and rejection
of background noise, place the microphone on
a large, flat surface, such as a floor, table, or
lectern.
To reduce reverberance, avoid reflective surfaces
above or to the side of the microphone, such as
beveled sides of pulpits or overhanging shelves.

Permanent Installation

1. Remove grille.
2. Place housing in position and mark location of
screw holes and bottom cable exit hole.
3. Drill starter hole for each screw and a 1/2 in.
bottom exit hole for the mic cable.
4. Insert 4-pin mini-connector and cable through
cable hole.
5. Replace grille with screw. Do not overtighten.
Do not attempt to detach the cable from the mi-
crophone, as damage may result.
