6.5 Cleaning the microphone

For details on cleaning the individual parts, see from page 93 ff. 7 Connecting the microphone

7.1 Connecting the microphone to an AKG wireless

system Screw the supplied MDA1 AKG ad‑ apter plug into the Microdot plug to connect it to an AKG wireless system.

7.2 Connecting the microphone to an alternative wireless

system AKG makes no guarantee of compatibility to third‑party wireless systems and assumes no liability in this respect! For more information, refer to the user instructions from the respec‑ tive wireless system manufacturer.

Replace the AKG adapter plug with the corresponding adapter plug to connect it to an alternative wireless system.

7.3 Connection to conventional mixing console

Replace the AKG adapter plug with the corresponding phantom power adapter (MDPA) to connect it to an alternative mixing console.

Connect the phantom power adapter (MDPA) (for more information, see from page 85 ff). The microphones in the MicroLite series are condenser microphones. As a result, they require a power supply.

Connect the microphone to a balanced XLR microphone input with phantom power. Connect the microphone input cable to the mixing console.

7.4 Optional accessories

7.4.2 Phantom power adapter

Fig. 40: Phantom power adapter (MDPA) ToensurecompleteexibilitywiththeMicroLitemicrophone, users can switch to a wired application using the phantom power adapter. The phantom adapter is equipped with:

• Phase rotation (can be plugged in via a jumper on the board, for more information, see page 88)MICROLITE MANUAL 87 uSE 8 Use

The major advantage of a microphone that is attached to an article of clothing, on the user's head or in their mask is that the distance between the microphone and the user's mouth is always the same. This ensures there is no need to worry about the microphone level uctuating. The freedom of movement is preserved and hands remain free.

The following must be taken into consideration when positioning cardioid condenser microphones:

• The closer the microphone is positioned to the sound source, the more low frequencies are captured.

• Cardioid condenser microphones are sensitive to body noises and wind noises.

8.2.2 Avoiding disturbances from electrical interference

• To avoid hum or interference, route all audio lines, particularly those connected to the microphone inputs, away from power lines of any type.

• If you use cable ducts, be sure to use separate ducts for the audio lines. Use Positioning the micro- phone Avoiding interferenceMICROLITE MANUAL88 uSE

8.2.3 Rotating the phase

JPhase180 Fig. 41: Phantom power adapter The signal phase can be rotated by 180° using the phantom power adapter.

1) Screw the Phillips‑head screw into the phantom adapter's

2) Remove the housing.

3) Remove the jumper and plug it into only one pin.

4) Put the housing on.

min. 10 cm Fig. 42: Voice transmission Fasten the microphone to a piece of clothing with the crocodile clip to ensure optimal voice transmission. Position the microphone as close as possible to the speaker's mouth. The smaller the distance between the microphone and the sound source, the lower the risk of acoustic feedback and the less room noise will be picked up in the audio signal.

8.3.2 Recording microphone or spot microphone

Fig. 44: Transmitting voices or songs Attach the microphone in the mask as close as possible to the mouth. Recording microphone and spot microphone Theater, musical or operaMICROLITE MANUAL 91 uSE

8.3.4 Recording musical instruments

The microphone can be attached to a variety of different instru‑ ments (e.g. string instruments, guitars, wind instruments). You only need to rotate the gain controller on the mixing console slightly because the microphone is located very close to the sound source. For this reason, feedback occurs only in very low levels in PA systems. Attach the microphone to different positions on the instrument and compare the sound to determine the optimal position of the microphone on an instrument. You can use the supplied wind screen on wind instruments to dampen the sounds of rushing air. Violin Fig. 45: Microphone for recording the violin The microphone can be fastened to the performer's cheek using a piece of tape if the microphone cannot or should not be attached to the violin itself. Alternatively, you can use the ear clip or the headworn microphone. Recording musical instruments ViolinMICROLITE MANUAL92 uSE This method offers the following advantages:

• Thesoundoftheviolinisnotinuenced.

• There is no risk of damaging the violin by using tape.

• The violin does not require a cable connection.
