Frequently Asked Questions - DM40 HAMA

How to connect the DM40 microphone?

Make sure the microphone is turned off. Plug the female XLR connector into the microphone's XLR connection and verify the locking mechanism. Plug the 3.5 mm mono male jack into your device's microphone input. Use the 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter if necessary.

What to do in case of feedback (whistling)?

Immediately turn the microphone off using the switch. Eliminate the source of the feedback by reducing the speaker volume, input sensitivity, or gain, or by moving the microphone away from the speakers. Turn the microphone back on after resolving the issue.

Does the microphone require batteries?

No, the Hama DM40 is a dynamic microphone that does not require any batteries. It is powered by the audio signal itself.

How to clean the microphone?

Clean the microphone only with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid any harsh detergents that could damage the surface.

What is the polar pattern of the microphone?

The Hama DM40 has a unidirectional (cardioid) polar pattern, meaning it primarily captures sound from the front and reduces side and rear noise.

Can I use the microphone with a computer?

Yes, the microphone comes with a 3 m cable with a 3.5 mm mono jack that can be plugged into a computer's microphone input. If your computer has a 6.3 mm jack input, use the included adapter.

What to do if the microphone does not work?

First check that the microphone is on (switch in ON position) and that the connections are properly plugged. Make sure your device volume is sufficient. If the problem persists, contact Hama support.

What is the cable length?

The microphone cable is 3 meters long, providing good freedom of movement.

How to adjust the microphone volume?

The microphone does not have a built-in volume control. The volume is adjusted directly on the audio device it is connected to (amplifier, computer, etc.). The microphone has an on/off switch but no gain control.

Where to find Hama support?
