User Manual

1. You will need a power supply to operate the
BROADCASTER. For optimum results, this
should be a 48V D.C. Phantom.
Most professional consoles have an internal
48V supply, or you can purchase one
separately. Make sure the power supply you
use is a professional unit that is operating
correctly. Damage caused by connecting the
BROADCASTER to a faulty power supply is
not covered by the guarantee.
2. The BROADCASTER comes complete with a
Micro-phone Mount (BM 1) and this must be
used to attach the BROADCASTER to a ‘stable’
microphone stand.
3. When first connecting the BROADCASTER
we suggest that you have the Gain control
adjusted to FULL attenuation (OFF).
4. Please make all cable connections before
applying power to the microphone. Never
remove the microphone cable while the power
is connected.
5. Check that you have the BROADCASTER
correctly connected. You can connect the
microphone directly to the mixer (without an
external supply) if 48V is available on the mixer.
Always use a balanced microphone cable and
be sure that the cable is a wired Pin 1 screen,
Pin 2+ Pin 3-, and 4 and 5 to switch the On-
Air indicator if used (refer to Wiring Diagram).
We suggest you purchase a cable with gold-
plated plugs, as contact resistance due to
corrosion is a major cause of problems in all
sound systems.
6. Switch on the Power Supply/Mixer. The
Microphone will take a few seconds to
stabilize. Adjust the mixer gain so that the
Peak Programme light on the console
‘flashes’ on the ‘peaks’ of the sound source
(Voice). Be sure to do this at the same SPL
(volume) and distance you (or the announcer)
will work at. The BROADCASTER is now
ready for use.
