User Tips:

• Speaking distance and angle of microphone: The two flexible portions of the microphone will enable you to position the mic according to height and speaking style of the user. In general, the microphone can be angled at 60-75 degrees towards the speaker and be 12-16 inches away from the mouth. A shorter distance can be used for a fuller sound or for weaker voices, but avoid getting too close to the microphone element.
• Windscreen: The supplied windscreen should be used to help minimize pop noise and breath noise. If breath or pop noise appears to be excessive, either move further away from the microphone or try speaker over the top of the microphone rather than directly into it.
• Using with Table Stand: For ultimate flexibility and portability, the optional ATS1, ATS1 LOGIC or the ATS 10 heavy duty table stands are available. Since the electronics for the ADX12/18 are built right into the base of the microphone, all that is necessary is to plug the mic directly into the table stand connector on the top of the base. The mic cable will be plugged into the back of the base and connected to a low impedance mic level input on the mixer or recording device. Remember that phantom power is required in order to operate. There is a noiseless 2 position on-off switch located in the table stand. The down position is ‘on’ and the up position is ‘off’. The LED indicator light will be lit when the mic is turned on. This is not a push-to-talk system so you need not hold down the switch, just push and click to on or off position. A standard XLR-XLR microphone cable can be used to connect the ATS 10 to the mixer or recording device.
• To use on microphone stand: The ADX12/18 may be used on any standard microphone stand by using the D-Clip. The XLR base of the microphone will snap securely into the D-Clip and can be used at any angle
