Istruzioni per l'uso

   • Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the microphone (refer to Figure 3).
   • Slide the switch to the "ON" position to power on the microphone. A battery indicator light will illuminate.

   • The MKE 400 features a switchable sensitivity setting for long and short distances.
   • Use the volume control switch (labeled "+ Vol -" or similar, refer to Figure 3) to adjust the microphone's input level.
   • For louder sound sources or closer proximity, select a lower sensitivity setting. For quieter sources or greater distance, select a higher sensitivity setting.
3. Using the Wind Noise Filter:
   • The microphone includes a switchable wind noise filter to reduce unwanted ambient noise, especially in outdoor environments.
   • Locate the wind noise filter switch (often labeled with a wind icon, refer to Figure 3) and activate it when needed.
   • For optimal wind noise reduction, attach the included foam windshield (refer to Figure 1).
4. Indicatore della batteria:
   • The battery indicator light provides feedback on battery status. A steady light typically indicates sufficient power, while a flashing light may signal low battery.
