 to the corresponding sockets of your mixing console.

Aligning the microphone

The front of the microphone is marked by the word “Front”

and a blue LED  whereas the rear is marked by a red

LED .

The LEDs can be used for aligning the microphone. On-axis

alignment is indicated by maximum brightness.

Function monitoring

The two LEDs Front  and Rear  indicate operational

readiness separately for both channels. The LEDs go off if

the supply voltage drops below 42 V.
