Attachment to articles of clothing

MZQ 2: this clip serves to attach the mic to the collar, lapel or button hole etc.

The pin MZS 2 can be used for rough clothing. The ZH 2 pin provides high stability. This pin is also suitable for articles of clothing which do not have a collar or lapel to attach the mic with the MZQ 2 clip.

MZM 10+MZM 2: this magnetic clip is quite unobtrusive. Often the frictional force between the mic and the clothing is sufficient to guarantee that the microphone is not dislocated. In addition, the neckstrap (included) ensures that the mic cannot be displaced from its proper position, especially with regard to smooth clothes.

Storing the microphone

￿The microphone should be stored in a dry room.

￿If the operating conditions deviate substantially from the climatic conditions in the storage room, the microphone, should be exposed to the new climatic conditions for roughly 15 minutes prior to operation.
