VariMic™ Controls

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 (LO),

Midrange (MID) and Treble (HI) response. There is also

an attenuation adjustment to provide up to 15 dB of ad-

ditional headroom if needed.

Bass/Mid/Treble (LO/MID/HI)

The bass and treble controls will boost/cut by up to

8 dB while the Mid control will boost/cut up to 6 dB.

These controls operate as standard tone controls: A

counterclockwise adjustment cuts the response in that

band and a clockwise adjustment boosts the response.

These controls can be accessed by removing the wind-

screen. To remove the windscreen, grasp the body of

the transmitter in one hand and the windscreen in the

other hand. Carefully unscrew the windscreen coun-

terclockwise until it comes off. Then, carefully slide the

windscreen past the mic element.

Control Settings:

• Set at, the response comes directly from the cap-

sule, without alteration.

• 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. These capsules

have a solid high end so a little cut does not ruin

the response.

• Treble boost might be ne on some sound systems.

The sound doesn’t get harsh (showing that the

response was smooth) but sibilants may be exces-

sive. Should be used in moderation.

Preamp Level Control

The VariMic

head includes an attenuator to provide

an additional 15 dB of headroom when needed. The

attenuator should only be used when the normal Audio

Level control is already turned down as far as it will

go and the signal through the mic is still too high. The

attenuator control is a 16-position switch marked “0”

through “F.” “F” is minimum attenuation. “0” is maximum

attenuation. As the switch is rotated counterclockwise,

more attenuation is applied. For the maximum amount

of headroom, set the switch to “0.”

Bass (LO) Mid (MID) Treble (HI)

Attenuator Control

(Shown set to “F” for minimum attenuation)

Note: The attenuator should not be used as a

level control. The Audio Level control inside the

battery compartment is the main level control.

Adjust the Preamp Level Control only when the

Audio Level control is turned completely down and

more headroom is still needed. Be sure to set the

Preamp Level Control back to its original setting

for normal operation.
