Thank you for selecting the MPR 211 B condenser microphone from
beyerdynamic. Please take some time to read carefully through this
product information before using the product.

1. Safety Information

• Protect the microphone from moisture and sudden impacts to
prevent damage. You could either injure yourself or others.
• Do not blow into the microphone, you could damage the transformer.
It is preferable to carry out a speech trial.
• When using wired microphones always ensure that the microphone
cable is laid so that it does not present a trip hazard.

2. Application

The MPR 211 B is a modern desktop microphone, which is ideal for
discussions, tele/video conferencing and announcements.
The Revoluto technology with 17 integrated microphone capsules
provides a so-called corridor characteristic, which ensures a wide range
of good voice quality. Within this range the speaker can move freely,
i.e. he/she can stand up or sit down, move his/her head and move
towards or away from the microphone.
On the left hand side the MPR 211 B provides an LED, which will
illuminate when the microphone is switched on.

3. Basic Function

At the bottom you can select between three
basic functions.
An arrow points to the selected basic
function.
Autonomous
With this function you can operate the microphone via the built-in or
external button.
Remote
With this function you can only operate the microphone via an
external button. The button on the front of the housing is deacti-
vated.
External Logic
The function is used when operating the microphone with external,
logic controls. The microphone is always active. With this function the
internal logic with micro controller control is deactivated. A typical
application is for example the "Voice Activation" mode in conjunction
with a digital audio matrix.
