[. . . ] Please keep the Manual for future reference. Should anything be missing, please contact your AKG dealer. 1: HC 577 L microphone The HC 577 L is a highly professional head-worn condenser microphone specifically designed for almost "invisible" use by performers on stage and radio or TV moderators. In line with this concept, the microphone is extremely light. [. . . ] Remove the cover (4) from the opposite temple piece. Slide the microphone arm holder (2) and cover (4) into the wire loops below the respective opposite temple pieces (1) to the point that they lock into place. (The cover (4) stabilizes the temple piece and prevents your hair from getting caught in the wire loop. Two Alternative Ways to Route the Cable a) To fix the cable more tightly inside the cable holder, you can reeve the cable through the cable holder twice. Make sure to leave enough slack in the rest of the cable so you can still readjust the behind-the-neck headband. B) Set the behind-the-neck headband to its smallest size and route the connector and cable through the behind-the-neck headband wires. Set the behind-the-neck headband to its largest size by pulling the two wires apart all the way. If necessary, slide the headband wires inward to the point that the microphone will rest securely yet comfortably on your head. Should the microphone still fit loosely even at its smallest size, you can bend the behind-the-neck headband and the temple pieces inward: If it does not, bend the wire some more, again with extreme care. Hold the temple piece firmly with one hand and lever the guide bush on the microphone arm out of the holder with the other hand. You can adjust the lateral distance between the microphone and your cheek by turning the microphone arm by the cable grip or by cautiously bending the microphone arm. Never try to shift the microphone arm inside the holder. When removing the microphone arm from the holder, never grasp the microphone arm itself!This alignment ensures optimum signal level and minimum pop 1 cm noise. If required for visual reasons, you may as well position the microphone capsule near the ear. The signal level will, however, be lower. To avoid distortion and pop noise, do not position the microphone capsule directly in front of your mouth! Always position the microphone capsule where it cannot touch your skin!Direct contact with the skin may cause moisture or perspiration to penetrate into the microphone capsule and/or generate mechanical noise. If the microphone arm protrudes too far back, try to bend this part of the microphone arm closer toward the head with care. Make sure not to use any more makeup than absolutely necessary. Too much makeup will clog the foam cells and thus change the sound of the microphone.
