[. . . ] The microphone snaps securely into the installation plate and can be removed easily. a 4-inch (100-mm) gooseneck lets you align the micorphone precisely for optimum sound. The high quality condenser transducer with its frequency-independent hypercardioid polar pattern provides a natural, detailed sound, high gain be- Fore feedback, and good rejection of spillover from nearby instruments. [. . . ] This may introduce hum or similar noise if you use a cable that is longer than 16 feet (5 m). The optional B 29 L battery supply allows you to connect the microphone to balanced or unbalanced inputs with no phantom power. Push the mini XLR connector (1) on the microphone cable into one of the two mini XLR sockets on the B 29 L (2) to the stop.

The supplied mounting hardware (see list below) lets you mount the microphone either permanently or by a detachable snap-on connection. Fix the H 416 installation plate on your instrument or speaker cabinet in one of the following ways: 3. These eyelets together with the elastomer damper incorporated in the gooseneck effectively suppress the transmission of mechanical noise. Squeezing the rubber eyelets would destroy their effectiveness as shock mounts. Remove the backing paper from both sides of the rubber plate and press the rubber plate firmly on the H 416 and then on the instrument or speaker. c) Mounting the H 416 on an uneven surface without using screws: · Use the supplied adhesive putty instead of the rubber plate. Slide the bracket on the gooseneck into the H 416 installation plate to the point that the bracket audibly clicks into place.
