[. . . ] This Manual contains important instructions for setting up and operating your equipment. Please take a few minutes to read the instructions below carefully before operating the equipment. 1 x connecting cable with HSC-PA phantom power adapter for microphone 1 x W 44 windscreen for microphone Should any item be missing, please contact your AKG dealer. [. . . ] 5: The flexible microphone arm allows you to adjust the microphone sound by varying the working distance. As you move the microphone away from your mouth, the bass content (and overall level) of the audio signal will decrease. 5: The microphone sound depends on the microphone's distance from the mouth. To mute the microphone, move the microphone arm up into its detented center position. When you take the headset off, the headphones will switch OFF automatically. This prevents the headphone signal from leaking into the microphone on taking the headset off. If you hang the headset up by the headband, the headphones may switch ON. 1 Windscreens W 44 (HSC 171/271), W HSD (HSD 171/271/271 Single) If you use the headset in the open or need to place the microphone extremely close to your mouth, we recommend using the supplied foam windscreen. To attach the new ear pad(s), pull the elastic hem of each ear pad over the rim of the earphone base plate all around. Note: When you connect the cable again, the connector will lock automatically. To prevent the microphone from picking up unwanted signals or causing feedback (models HSC 171 and HSD 171 provide no headphone muting function), be sure to move the microphone arm into its vertical center position every time before taking the headset off. this keeps the microphone signal muted even if the microphone channel remains open. The HSC-PA phantom power adapter features a bass cut filter to suppress low-frequency noise and reduce proximity effect. Remove the jumper (3) from the contact pins (4) to activate the bass cut filter. In order not to lose the jumper (3), place it on any two contact pins (4) in a position at right angles to the ON position. To deactivate the bass cut filter, place the jumper (3) on any two contact pins (4) as per Table 5 below. Bass cut filter ON Bass cut filter OFF Push the pcb into the shell, replace and tighten the fixing screw (1), and screw the cable bushing (2) onto the blue strain relief (5).
