Sennheiser SKM 1072-U manual Microphone use, Fault Finding

Microphone use

￿If the SKM 1072-U is used as a hand-held transmitter the sensitivity should be switched to “LOW”. For outdoor recordings and close-miking use the MZW 1032 windshield to reduce pop and wind noise.

￿If you want to wear the SKM 1072-U around your neck, use the supplied SZU 1032 lavalier clip as shown above. Set the sensitivity to “HIGH”.
