A quick tip to reduce feedback - never put your

hands over the ball head. This can signifi cantly

change the pick-up area of the mic, and can cause

feedback. And of course, never point the front of

mic at the speakers!

• The ball head of the S1 is an engineering marvel.

Made up of fi ve separate mesh screens the outer

is heat-treated steel, which has been bead-blasted

and nickel-plated. Internally we have stainless steel

meshes as well as a fi nal nylon mesh. These fi lters

are design to remove vocal plosives, while not

affecting the frequency response. The mesh head

can be unscrewed and washed in soap and water.

Please fully dry the head before re-assembly and

be sure to take care with the mic once the head has

been removed.

• After use the S1 should be wiped with a dry, soft

cloth and placed in its protective case.

• Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals

(supplied) at the head of the microphone, so as to

absorb any moisture present.

• Eventually this pack of crystals will need to be

dried. This is indicated by the crystals turning pink

in colour.

• They can easily be re-used by placing them in an

oven at 100 - 150 degrees celsius for approximately

ten minutes. The crystals will operate effectively

again once they have turned blue.
