ADDITIONAL TIPS

• Aim the SR3117 toward the intended vocalist and away from unwanted sources.
  • (Maximum rejection is found at the 135-degree point of the polar pattern.)
• Place the SR3117 1-2 inches away from the vocalist's mouth for best results.
• Get closer to the SR3117 for extra bass response.
• Place the SR3117 as far as possible from reflective surfaces.
• Even though the SR3117 is treated to minimize handling noise, the best position for it is mounted onto a microphone stand.
• Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with your hand, as this will adversely affect microphone performance.
• Do not aim directly at your speaker or PA.

The windscreen can be removed if it requires cleaning. See details below.

CLEANING THE SR3117's WINDSCREEN

All cleaning should be done with either alcohol wipes, or with a small amount of alcohol on a soft cloth. Make sure any cleaned elements are completely dry before reassembling.

A NOTE ABOUT THE SR3117'S INNER WINDSCREEN

The internal fine mesh pop filter is self aligning, and it stays in place because of the interference fit. Be careful when unscrewing the outer windscreen, as the inner pop filter may fall out.

When putting it all back together, make sure that it is properly aligned and then simply screw the outer sleeve back in pace.
