User manual NADY OHCM-200

[. . . ] The microphone is designed to be powered by an external 9-52 V DC phantom power supply and is enclosed in a rugged die cast case for long-term reliability. UNPACKING, INSPECTION, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT Your OHCM-200 microphone was carefully packed at the factory, and the shipping carton was designed to protect the unit during shipping. Please examine your microphone before using and retain the external shipping package for reuse should you ever need to return your microphone for servicing. [. . . ] Experimenting with the position of the mic with respect to the audio source will ensure the optimum results you are seeking in any given application. If the microphone is placed too near a speaker during live stage use, an unpleasant howling effect (acoustic feedback) may occur. Although all microphones are prone to feedback to some extent, those with a unidirectional polar pattern (such as the OHCM-200) are specially designed to accept only signals from audio sources in front of the mic element. Thus, the cardioid pattern of the OHCM-200 ensures that it will deliver only the desired audio in front of the mic, rejecting the unwanted audio from the rear, even in noisy ambient conditions with high sound pressure levels from the P. A. This means that feedback will be greatly minimized with the OHCM-200 in all live performance miking applications. Of course, when using this mic in far field audio pickup applications, extra care must be taken to lessen feedback. Some useful ways in which to totally eliminate annoying feedback in live use include: experimenting with mic positions with respect to the speakers, decreasing speaker volume (whenever possible), and adjusting the equalization of the mic audio with the mixer.
