Frequently Asked Questions - HSC 100 OC AKG

How to wear the HSC 100 OC correctly?

Insert the earphone into the ear and rotate the microphone boom toward the corner of the mouth for optimal pickup. Use the provided foam earpads for better comfort.

How to attach the cable to avoid strain?

Use the provided clip to attach the cable to your collar. This relieves strain and reduces cable noise.

When to use the windscreen?

Attach the windscreen to the microphone outdoors to reduce wind and breath noise.

What are the wire connections?

The cable has free ends: red wire of microphone = signal + power (1.5 to 10 V), shield = ground. Earphone wires: not specified, but generally symmetrical. Consult the diagram in the manual.

Is the headset compatible with all devices?

The microphone requires phantom power (1.1 to 10 V). The earphone impedance (1500 ohms) is high; use a suitable amplifier for sufficient volume.

How to clean the headset?

Clean the external surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquids. The foam earpads can be replaced.

What safety precautions should be observed?

Avoid exposure to moisture, rain, direct heat (radiator, sun) and impact. Do not spill any liquids. Observe the storage temperature: -40 to +80 °C.

What to do in case of audio distortion?

Check the sound level: do not exceed 1.5 Vrms to avoid distortion (>2%). Also check connections and clean contacts.

Is the headset repairable?

The housing is ABS, not designed for user repair. In case of failure, contact AKG customer service. The earpads are replaceable.

What is the product warranty?

The manual mentions a guaranteed drop height of 150 cm, but the standard warranty depends on the retailer. Refer to the general terms and conditions of sale.

USER MANUAL HSC 100 OC AKG

The HSC 100 SR/OC is a versatile, featherweight headset with a condenser microphone and dynamic microphone. With its figure eight pickup pattern and frequency response optimized for speech pickup, the microphone ensures excellent rejection of ambient noise. The microphone has been designed for insertion into the left or right ear for optimum intelligibility and comfort.

2. Precautions

1. Do not spill any liquids on the equipment.
2. Do not place the equipment near heat sources such as radiators or heating ducts and do not expose it to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain, mechanical vibrations, or shock.

3.Use

The HSC 100 SR/OC has been designed for "standard size" ears. If your ears are larger, fix the supplied foam ear cushion on the microphone for better fit and comfort. Try the microphone on with and without the foam ear cushion to find out which way it fits better and more comfortably.

Insert the earphone into your left or right ear such that the microphone arm points toward the corner of your mouth. If you use the headset out of doors slip the supplied windscreen on the microphone in order to prevent unwanted wind noise.

To take the weight of the cable off the headset, use the cable clip to attach the cable, e.g., to the collar.

4. Cable

The HSC 100 SR/OC uses an unterminated cable. The microphone and earphone wires are color coded as follows:

Microphone

Red:	audio and supply voltage (1.5 V to 10 V)
Shield:	ground

Earphone

White:	audio
Shield:	ground
