The microphone provides a balanced output on a 3-pin male XLR
connector:
You can connect the microphone either to a balanced or an unbalanced
microphone input.
To connect the microphone to a balanced input (XLR connector),
use a commercial XLR cable.
To connect the microphone to an unbalanced microphone input
(1/4" jack), use a cable with a female XLR connector and a 1/4"
TS jack plug. Please note that unbalanced cables may pick up
interference from stray magnetic fields near power or lighting
cables, electric motors, etc. like an antenna. This may cause hum
or similar noise when you use a cable that is longer than 16 feet
(5 m).
Microphones with name suffix "S" have an on/off switch.
1) To switch the microphone on, slide the on/off switch toward the
front grill ("ON" position)
2) To switch the microphone off, slide the on/off switch toward the
microphone cable ("OFF" position)
To prevent unwanted bursts of noise, be sure to switch the microphone
off before connecting or disconnecting the microphone cable.
