Certification

Conforms to European Union directives, eligible to bear CE marking; meets European Union EMC Immunity Requirements (EN 50 082-1, 1992); RF radiated (IEC 801-3); ESD (IEC 801- 2); EFT (IEC 801-4).

IMPEDANCE SELECTION

The microphone is shipped connected for low impedance operation. To change to high impedance, refer to Figure 4 and proceed as follows:

1.Remove plug element by turning slotted setscrew in (counterclockwise). Use long-nose pliers to pull plug element from case, but be careful not to stretch or break wires.

2.Disconnect 2-terminal impedance selection socket from rear of plug element by pulling it off pin 3.

3.Reconnect impedance selection socket so that pin 3 of plug element is now connected to RED (high-impedance) lead.

4.Swivel socket so that it does not extend beyond edge of connector (see inset in Figure 4).

5.Reinsert plug element into microphone; then tighten setscrew by turning it clockwise.
