MOUNTING THE SMS-45A AND TURNING IT ON

To attach the microphone to a camera with

the shoe mount adapter, make sure the

SMS-45A is turned off and follow these steps:

1. Rotate the locking wheel counterclockwise to

loosen it.

2. Slide the shoe mount adapter all the way into

your camera’s shoe mount.

3. Tighten the locking wheel by rotating it

clockwise until secure.

4. Insert the microphone into the mic holder

making sure that the power/high-pass lter

switch is accessible.

To attach the microphone to a boom pole, make sure

the SMS-45A is turned off and follow these steps:

1. Match the threaded post on the end of the boom pole

with the threaded socket of the SMS-45A’s mic holder.

2. Screw the boom pole into the threaded socket until it is

secure.

3. Insert the microphone into the mic holder making sure

that the power/high-pass lter switch is accessible.

To switch the microphone on, set the power switch to either

the L-CUT or FLAT position.

USING THE HIGH-PASS FILTER

The high-pass lter attenuates noise below 80 Hz. This helps prevent the microphone from recording low-

frequency noises like the rumble of an air conditioner, blower, or fan.

To turn on the high-pass lter, slide the switch on the microphone to the L-CUT position. To turn off the high-

pass lter, slide the switch to the FLAT position.

RECORDING

1. Plug the 3.5 mm stereo mini connector into the audio input jack of your camera or portable recorder.

2. Place the foam windscreen over the microphone.

3. Slide the power/high-pass lter switch to the FLAT or L-CUT position.

4. You are now ready to record. Consult the instructions of your camera or recording device for directions on

recording.

Important:Turn off the Auto Gain Control in your camera settings before recording.

Recording Tips:

• The foam windscreen should always be used to diminish vocal plosives and wind noise.

• It is always advisable to do a test recording rst and listen to the playback before recording a complete take.

THE DESKTOP MIC STAND

The SMS-45A can be used as a stand-alone microphone. For tabletop placement of the microphone, follow

these steps:

1. Attach the shoe-mount adapter by screwing in the 5/8″

threaded post of the adapter into the 5/8″threaded

socket of the mic holder.

2. With the closed end of the mic stand slanted down

toward the table top, slide the microphone just above the

mounting foot onto the stand so that it rests on the at

section of the legs.

3. Tighten the locking wheel by rotating it clockwise.

Problem Solution

The microphone is stuck in the camera’s

shoe mount.

Make sure the locking wheel is fully loosened.

No sound was recorded. Make sure that a fresh battery is installed, and it is correctly orientated in the battery

compartment.

Make sure the switch on the microphone is set to either the FLAT or L-CUT position.

The sound is distorted. Make sure the microphone’s audio connection is fully plugged into the audio input

jack of your camera or portable recorder.

If the level is too high, decrease the mic gain on your camera or recording device.

The recording level is too low. Increase the mic gain control on your camera or recording device.

There is too much rumble or room

noise.

Slide the switch on the microphone to the L-CUT position.

Turn off electric appliances like air conditioners, blowers, and fans.
