Use and Care

The headset’s arch-shaped ear rest is placed over whichever ear you choose. The tip of the supporting arches rests behind the ear, providing the necessary stability during use. The mic boom descends from the ear and should be placed close to the mouth in a favorable audio position. Bend the boom and headset slightly for optimal fit.

Connect the Mini-XLR or 3.5mm phono plug of the microphone cable to the input jack of the bodypack transmitter or power supply adaptor. When using a power supply adaptor, connect it to the microphone input of an audio preamp that provides phantom power.

The HM-35 assembly has been moisture-proofed to guard against deterioration during use. After use in a high moisture application such as aerobics or a stage performance, remove the foam screen, wipe the headset with a dry soft cloth and permit it to air-dry. Do not store the unit in a closed space (e.g., a plastic bag) until all moisture has evaporated, and avoid conditions of extremely high humidity. This will help maintain the HM-35’s excellent performance. While the HM-35 is not unusually sensitive to the outside environment, extremes in temperature can be harmful. Avoid leaving the microphone in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Known for its reliability and high-quality performance, the HM-35 is favored by musicians, public speakers, and educators alike.

The system comes equipped with dual-channel receivers, which enable simultaneous use of multiple microphones, catering to larger events or musical ensembles.

In terms of audio characteristics, the HM-35 is recognized for its warm sound profile, which is enhanced by its frequency response range. This provides vocalists with a natural sound that highlights the nuances of their performance without coloring the audio. Additionally, the built-in equalization options allow for further customization of sound to meet specific requirements.

Overall, the Nady Systems HM-35 stands out in the realm of wireless microphones for its combination of durability, performance, and ease of use. Whether for a small gathering or a large stage event, the HM-35 consistently delivers professional-grade audio that meets the needs of performers and presenters alike.
