Installation
of Shield and Microphone Assembly
Remove shield from bottom compartment of styrofoam case. Loosen
transparent nut slightly. Place shield on a flat surface with
neck up and carefully insert V tube. Some pressure will be required.
Allow neck to come to a rest against black handle. Tighten nut
until shield is secured. Insert microphone assembly until it
'clicks' in flush with the V tube. This will complete the assembly
of the microphone. To check alignment at any time, view across
the outer edges of the parabola, the wire mesh at the head of
the microphone should just break your line of vision.

Battery
Installation
 Open battery door compartment.
Hold the handle up side down and insert the first battery with
the contacts facing down, large contact (negative pole) towards
the back of the handle. As the door is closed, contacts on the
door will unite with the second battery. Tighten screw, but do
not over tighten. When batteries are exhausted distortion will
occur at high sound levels and batteries will need to be replaced.
Always use batteries of similar type.
Microphone
Cable
The microphone cable is six feet long, and is primarily designed
to be used with portable recorders. If a longer cable is necessary,
an extension cable up to two hundred feet may be used without
effecting sound quality or performance. It is only necessary
to use a two conductor cable with a ground for this purpose.
Electronic
Noise
Electronic noise is picked up in two ways, magnetic and electrostatic.
Both can be eliminated by keeping away from the sources; electronic
machines and fluorescent lights.
V-M Switch
For maximum sound quality, especially for voice and music, the
switch should be placed on the 'V' position. The 'M' position
is a low frequency roll-off. This position is preferred anytime
the subject does not produce these low frequencies. The handling
noise is minimized in this position. Try both positions if you
are not sure. The switch is flush with the surface to prevent
accidental use while recording.
Microphone
Cable Connectors (All Models)
We do not supply connectors with the EPM because there are over
30 different types in common use today. For the plugs you require
consult your EPM dealer or the nearest electronic parts outlet.
There are two basic types of connectors; unbalanced to ground
and balanced to ground, depending on the equipment with which
the microphone is used. Usually for a home recording device,
use the unbalanced configuration. If you require advice regarding
plug connection, consult your EPM dealer or your tape recorder
dealer.
