PRECAUTIONS AND CARE FOR YOUR CM-60

The microphone should never be dropped or subjected to extreme shock. Store only in a padded case to protect it dur- ing transport.

Keep the microphone away from extremely high temperatures (above 140 °F or 60 °C) and humidity. Avoid leaving the microphone in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

When using the microphone outdoors, avoid getting it wet.

After use in a high-moisture application such as a stage performance, wipe off the microphone with a dry cloth and per- mit it to air dry. Do not store the unit in a closed space (e.g., a plastic bag) until all moisture has evaporated.

FEATURES

Able to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion, the CM-60 microphone is ideal for close-up miking of all types of drums and percussion instruments, as well as for accurate sonic reproduction of brass, string, woodwind, guitars, and other acoustic instruments producing high sound fields. Perfect for hard-wired or wireless applications in live performance or recording applications.

Mounts to drum rims, the edge of acoustic guitar sound holes or the bell of wind instruments for accurate sound repro- duction and isolation from other instruments

Tight cardioid polar response is highly effective in suppressing feedback and unwanted sounds

Rubber boom shockmount’s ingenious design minimizes vibration and audio transference from resonant instruments or materials

Sturdy rubber-grip spring clamp holds mic securely and prevents marring the finish

Built-in windscreen, as well as external windscreen included, for maximum feedback and pop rejection

Adjustable gooseneck and swivel joint allows optimum microphone positioning

For use with bodypack transmitters or with standard mixers that provide 9-52V phantom power.
