Impedance
LO Z: Microphone rated impedance is 150 Ω (270 Ω actual) for
connection to microphone inputs rated low impedance
HI Z: Microphone impedance is “High” for connection to high-im-
pedance microphone inputs
Sensitivity (at 1,000 Hz)
LO Z HI Z
Open Circuit Voltage* – 55.5 dBV/Pa – 37.0 dBV/Pa*
(1.7 mV) (14.1 mV)
*1 Pascal=94 dB SPL
Phasing
Positive pressure on the diaphragm produces positive voltage
on pin 2 relative to pin 3 in both HI Z and LO Z modes
Switch
Built-in ON/OFF switch, lockplate to lock switch ON
Connector
Three-pin professional (male XLR) type
Cartridge Shock Mount
Internal rubber vibration-isolator
Swivel Adapter
Positive action, break-resistant, adjustable through 180° slip-out
removal for handheld use, designed for mounting on stand with
5/8-in.–27 thread
Case
Platinum beige enamel die casting with platinum beige steel

Certification
Conforms to European Union directives, eligible to bear CE
marking; meets European Union EMC Immunity Requirements
(EN 50 082-1, 1992); RF radiated (IEC 801-3); ESD (IEC 801-
2); EFT (IEC 801-4).
IMPEDANCE SELECTION
The microphone is shipped connected for low impedance
operation. To change to high impedance, refer to Figure 4 and
proceed as follows:
1. Remove plug element by turning slotted setscrew in
(counterclockwise). Use long-nose pliers to pull plug element
from case, but be careful not to stretch or break wires.
2. Disconnect 2-terminal impedance selection socket from rear
of plug element by pulling it off pin 3.
3. Reconnect impedance selection socket so that pin 3 of plug
element is now connected to RED (high-impedance) lead.
4. Swivel socket so that it does not extend beyond edge of
connector (see inset in Figure 4).
5. Reinsert plug element into microphone; then tighten setscrew
by turning it clockwise.
