Hand-held Transmitter
EXTERNAL SWITCHES BYPASS
This concealed slide switch defeats the external switches on the bottom panel for applications where it is best that
the user not be able to operate the power and mute switches.
EXTERNAL LED OFF
This slide switch defeats the battery status LED on the bottom panel for applications where
the LED may be distracting. With this switch in the right-hand position, the power will
remain on and the transmitter operating, even though the power LED is off.

-10 dB
This switch enables an extra 10dB of audio attenuation for those rare times
when the Audio Level control is already at minimum and the mic is still overload-
ing.
The 10dB attenuator should only be used as a last resort. Do not leave it
enabled when it is not needed.
To gain access to the switch, turn the windscreen counter-clockwise and remove
it. Slide the switch handle toward the -10dB label to activate the attenuator.
Factory default is NO attenuation.
INTERNAL CONTROLS - VARIMIC VERSION
Caution - Due to the high RF levels surrounding the transmitter, the sound of the
Varimic capsule may be temporarily affected if the metal windscreen is not in place.
Always make the final decision about sound balance and quality with the windscreen in
place.
The VariMic head includes adjustments for Bass, Midrange and Treble response.
There is also an attenuation adjustment to provide up to 15dB of additional
headroom if needed.
BASS / MID / TREBLE
The bass and treble controls will boost/cut by up to approximately 8dB while the
Mid control will boost/cut up to about 6dB. These controls operate as standard
tone controls. Counter-clockwise will reduce the response in that band and
clockwise will provide a true boost. These controls can be accessed by remov-
ing the windscreen. To remove the windscreen, grasp the body of the transmit-
ter in one hand and the windscreen in the other hand. Carefully unscrew the
wind-screen counter-clockwise until it comes off then carefully slide the
windscreen past the mic element.
• Set flat, the mic capsule is very wide range and sounds a lot like a large
competitor’s top line condenser mic.
• Bass cut gives a dry but highly intelligible sound. Crisp.
• Bass boost “fattens” the sound but is very listenable. Does not get midbass
boomy.
• Midrange cut sounds very smooth. Almost a “crooner” quality. A sweet sound.
• Midrange boost is likely to be useful in a system that is midrange shy.
• Treble cut has a “mellow” sound. The capsule has a solid high end so a little
cut does not ruin the response.
• Treble boost might be fine on some sound systems. The sound doesn’t get
harsh (showing that the response was smooth) but sibilants are a little too
much. Should be used in moderation.
