2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EM-410 is a miniature, lightweight hypercardioid
condenser microphone that can be clipped to a shirt or tie.
3. FEATURES
• Built-in filter to correct sound quality degradation that
often occurs in such cases a conventional clip-on lavalier
microphone is used, realizing high quality sound.
• Greatly improved sound quality and acoustic feedback
margin than those for conventional lavalier microphones,
and reduced cable noise (e.g. rustle of clothing).
• Holder mechanism that allows the microphone to be
rotated to your desired direction wherever the
microphone is clipped.
4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Be sure to turn off the phantom power switch on the
equipment that the unit is connected to before
connecting or disconnecting the unit. As doing otherwise
may cause loud noise or damage to the unit or
connected equipment.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in
locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters,
or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing
otherwise may result in unit failure.
• Take care not to drop the unit onto the floor nor bump it
against a hard object as the unit could fail.
• Avoid using a mobile telephone near the microphone in
use. Noise could be picked up.
• To clean, be sure to first disconnect the connection
cable, then wipe with a dry cloth. When the unit gets very
dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser. Never
use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or chemically-treated
cleaning cloth because such volatile liquids could deform
or discolor the unit.
