M 160 — Dynamic Double-Ribbon Microphone

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Connection
� The M 160 is equipped with a 3-pin XLR connector .
You can connect it to any microphone input using a
suitable microphone cable .
Caution: Carelessly laid cables are a trip hazard .
�
People can be injured and the microphone
can be damaged .
Operation
The two orange dots on the ring around the micro-
�
phone grille designate the longitudinal axis of the
two ribbons . When setting up the microphone on
tripods, make sure that this axis runs vertically .
Position the microphone so that monitor speakers
�
and other sound sources radiate laterally from
behind (angle approx . 110°) onto the microphone .
In this way, due to the noise cancellation of 25 dB at
110°, lateral sound reflections and disturbing ambient
noise are effectively suppressed .
The M 160 is supplied with the MA-CL 25 microphone
�
clamp for tripods with 3/8" thread . For tripods with
a 5/8" thread, you can unscrew the threaded insert .
Caution: A tripod with an insecure stand can fall
�
over and damage a microphone mounted
on it . Make sure the tripod stands stable .

MAINTENANCE

Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the
�
microphone shaft and grille .
Make sure that no water enters the microphone .
�
Do not use cleaning agents containing solvents .
