1.Turn the grip counter-clockwise.

2.Pull out the grip to open the battery compartment.

3.Insert a new R6 (size AA) battery.

B a t t e r y L i f e

When the power is turned on, the battery check indicator lights momentarily. When the battery becomes weak, the indicator remains dimly lit or does not light at all. In this case, replace the battery with a new one.

The Sony R6P(SR) manganese battery gives continuous operation of the microphone for about 2,000 hours.

N o t e s o n B a t t e r y

To avoid damage to the unit from leakage and corrosion;

•Be sure to match the + and - on the battery with the same marks on the battery compartment.

•Do not try to recharge battery.

•Remove the battery if the microphone is not to be used for a long period of time.

In case of battery leakage, wipe off any deposit in the battery compartment before installing a new battery.

C o n n e c t i o n ( S e e f i g . B )

Connect the L-shaped stereo mini-plug to the MIC jack of your recording equipment (MD, DAT, etc.) as illustrated in fig. B

P a r t s I d e n t i f i c a t i o n a n d U s e s ( S e e f i g . C )

1. Connector

Insert the connector in until it clicks. Remove the connector by pressing the button.

2. Wind Screen

Attach in order to reduce wind or breathing noise.

3. Battery Check Indicator

When the power/directive angle switch is turned from OFF to ON, this indicator lights momentarily. When the battery becomes weak, the indicator remains dimly lit or does not light at all. In this case, replace the battery with a new one.

4. Power/Directive Angle Switch

Set the switch according to the sound source.

The above gives guidelines for selecting the appropriate angle. Although following those guidelines is encouraged, you can freely choose either angle according to your own preference.

5. Microphone Holder

You can also connect to a microphone stand (PF 1/2) (optional).

6. Grip

As shown in the illustration, it can be used as a handy microphone. Loosen the screw and detach the grip from the microphone stand.

7. Screw

Tighten the screw after setting the direction of the microphone.

8. L-shaped Stereo Mini-plug

Connect to the MIC jack of your recording equipment (DAT, MD, NT, etc.)

9. Turning Capsule Button (See fig. D)

(a)Set the turning capsule button according to the direction of the sound source. As shown in the illustration, set the microphone head toward the sound source by pressing the turning capsule button.

(b)Using the microphone vertically This position makes a more accurate sound pick- up. Use this position after monitoring and adjusting the sound quality of your recording equipment.

(c)Using the microphone horizontally This position makes for a successful sound pick- up without any fine adjustments.

10.Microphone stand (See fig. E)

As shown in the illustration, spread out the legs to use the stand.

F e a t u r e s

This microphone is suitable for use in a variety of situations such as at concerts or conferences with digital recording equipment (Sony DAT, MD, NT(Digital

Microcorder), etc.).

•The turning capsule function allows both vertical and horizontal sound pickup.

•The Mid-Side Stereo System provides a natural sound pick up, delivering a stereo sound image with superb clarity.

•The directive angle (between left and right channels) can be set to 90° or 120° according to the sound source.

P r e c a u t i o n s

•The microphone should never be dropped or subjected to strong shock.

•Keep the microphone away from areas with extremely high temperatures and humidity

(above 60°C or 140°F).

•If the microphone is placed near loudspeakers, an acoustic feedback (howling effect) may occur. If this happens, place the microphone as far away as possible from the loudspeakers, change the direction of the microphone or decrease the speaker volume until the howling stops.
