Important!

With resonances at low frequencies, proximity ef-

fect may cause feedback. In this case, it is often

enough to move away from the microphone a little

to stop the feedback.

1. Never let more than

two persons share a

microphone.

2. The microphone is

very insensitive to off-

axis sounds. If the

two vocalists were to

sing into the micro-

phone from an angle

wider than 35 de-

grees, you mayend up bringing up the fader of

the microphone channel far enough to create a

feedback problem.

1. Unscrew and remove the wire mesh cap.

2. Slip the PB 1000 on the microphone capsule to

the stop, slightly turning the attachment as you

push it home.

• When installing or removing the PB 1000,

make sure to grip the capsule and shock

mount firmly with your thumb and forefinger

in order to prevent the capsule being sev-

ered from the shock mount.
