Frequently Asked Questions - M152 THOMSON

How to connect the microphone to a computer?

Use the supplied 6.35mm to 3.5mm jack adapter. Connect the microphone to the microphone input (often pink) on your computer. Check your system's audio settings.

Why does my microphone produce a whistle (feedback effect)?

Feedback is a sound loop. To eliminate it, lower the speaker volume, move the microphone away from the speakers, reduce gain, or enable a pad if available.

Can I use this microphone with a mixing console?

Yes, the microphone has an XLR output, ideal for mixing consoles. If your console only has jack inputs, use the supplied adapter.

How to clean the microphone?

Use a slightly damp non-abrasive cloth. Never use harsh products or alcohol. Avoid wetting the grille.

What is the polar pattern of the microphone?

The microphone is omnidirectional: it picks up sound from all directions. Ideal for recording ambiance or a group.

Does this microphone require phantom power?

No, it is a passive dynamic microphone. It works without power. Do not connect phantom power (48V): it will not damage it but is not necessary.

Is warranty included?

Yes, the product benefits from the legal warranty. Any modification or non-compliant use voids the warranty. Contact Hama customer service if necessary.

Can I use this microphone with a smartphone?

It depends on the smartphone. Some models require a special adapter (e.g., TRRS adapter). The microphone is designed for standard jack inputs.

What to do if the volume is too low?

Check that the microphone is properly connected and that the on/off switch is in the ON position. Increase the volume on your device. If necessary, use a preamp.
