3 Using Your Microphone
With resonances at low frequencies, proximity ef- fect may cause feedback. In this case, it is often enough to move away from the microphone a little to stop the feedback.
1. Never let more than two persons share a microphone.
2. The microphone is very insensitive to off- axis sounds. If the two vocalists were to sing into the micro- phone from an angle wider than 35 de-
grees, you mayend up bringing up the fader of the microphone channel far enough to create a feedback problem.

1.Unscrew and remove the wire mesh cap.
2.Slip the PB 1000 on the microphone capsule to the stop, slightly turning the attachment as you push it home.
Important! • When installing or removing the PB 1000, make sure to grip the capsule and shock mount firmly with your thumb and forefinger in order to prevent the capsule being sev- ered from the shock mount.
