Setup Instructions

1. Kuisa Maikorofoni:

   Attach the S360 microphone to the provided microphone clip. Secure the clip onto a standard microphone stand or boom arm. Ensure the microphone is stable and positioned correctly for your recording needs.
2. Connecting to Audio Interface:

   Connect an XLR cable (not included) from the microphone's XLR output to an audio interface or mixer that provides 48V phantom power. The S360 requires 48V phantom power to operate.

   Note: Ensure your audio interface or mixer is capable of supplying 48V phantom power. Connecting without phantom power will result in no audio output.

3. Attaching Pop Filters:

   Select one of the two magnetic pop filters. Align the filter with the microphone's front grille and allow the magnets to secure it in place. Experiment with both filters to find the sound profile that best suits your application.
4. Kutanga Simba-Kubatidza:

   Once connected, activate the 48V phantom power on your audio interface or mixer. The microphone's indicator light will illuminate, indicating it is powered on and ready for use.

Operating Instruction

Maikorofoni Kuiswa

For optimal sound quality, position the microphone approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the sound source. Adjust the angle to capture the desired sound while minimizing unwanted room reflections.

Kushandisa Mute Basa

The S360 features a one-touch mute button. Press the button to mute the microphone. The indicator light will change color (e.g., from blue to red) to show the mute status. Press again to unmute.

Selecting Pop Filters

The two included magnetic pop filters offer different acoustic properties:

• Vertical Strip Filter: Ideal for capturing a broad, clear, and detailed sound. Suitable for vocals and instruments where clarity is paramount.
• Honeycomb Filter: Provides effective plosive reduction and enhances low-frequency response, resulting in a warmer, fuller sound. Recommended for close-up vocals or when a richer tone is desired.

To change filters, gently pull the current filter off the microphone and align the desired filter until it magnetically snaps into place.

Maintenance

• Kuchenesa: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the microphone body. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Kuchengeta: When not in use, store the microphone in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case.
• Kubata: Avoid dropping or subjecting the microphone to strong impacts, which can damage the sensitive internal capsule.
