The headset can be re-sized by sliding the ear hooks to fit snug around your head. If the DE50x is loose and will not stay in place, slide the ear hook wires back for a tighter fit.

Adjust the microphone position by holding the left ear hook wire and slide the boom forward or back. For optimum performance the microphone should be close to the skin and towards the corner of the mouth, approximately a half inch away.

Position the moisture guard ring as close to the capsule as possible.

For outdoor use and to help reduce p-popping, install one of the included windscreens.

The DE50x includes four cables with connectors to use with the most popular wireless body pack systems. To connect the cable to the headset:

1. Choose the right cable and connector that works with your wireless system.
2. Line the cable up to the threaded terminal on the back of the DE50x and screw the cable into the headset. Do not over tighten the cable.
3. Attach the included collar clip on the back of your shirt collar and run the mic wire from the DE50x headset to the wireless body pack. Leave enough cable to allow you to turn your head from side to side.

Mic Positioning

Position the DE50x microphone element about 0.25" – 1" behind the corner of your mouth. Since the DE50x is an omnidirectional capsule, the end of the microphone does not need to be facing your mouth. To avoid breath noise and p-pops, do not place the microphone directly in front of your mouth.

If the microphone is too far away from your mouth you will need to increase the gain and reduce isolation.

To minimize additional noise, do not locate the microphone tight against your cheek.
