OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The HT7 is a low impedance microphone designed for use with wireless bodypack systems such as the Audix Performance Series wireless. The HT7 may be used with other brands of wireless bodypacks. A selection of adapters is available depending on the input connectors of the body pack.

Hard-wired applications: The HT7 may be used for hard-wired applications with the addition of either APS910 or APS911 phantom power adapters.

Note: the APS910 and APS911 use 3-pin configurations requiring the ADHT73PIN adapter for wired applications. The phantom power adapters require a standard XLR mic cable from the adaptor to the input on the audio console.

When using the HT7 in a wireless mode, plug the cable into one of the ‘mic level’ inputs on the mixer, console, or recording device. The HT7 will NOT operate without phantom power voltage (5-52 Volts recommended) which is available on most professional mic preamps and mixing devices. If phantom power is not available on your equipment, the Audix APS911 battery operated phantom power supply may be used. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from a PA system unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system is turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud ‘popping’ noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.

USER TIPS

The HT7 is designed so that the ear piece is worn around either the left or right ear. Simply fasten the ear piece around the ear so that the boom arm projects below the ear towards the mouth. If the user has long hair, the back of the headset will be completely hidden. The microphone is at the very end of the flexible boom and should be positioned slightly below the cheek towards the corner of the mouth. The boom arm is flexible and can be contoured to hug closely to the face as needed. To avoid popping, the microphone is designed to pick up sound from a distance. The windscreen is recommended for outdoor use of the microphone. DO NOT place the microphone directly in front of the mouth or in the airflow path of the nose.
