Beyerdynamic MCE 58 Produktinformation Seite 5

Congratulations and thank you for selecting the MCE 58
reporter's microphone. Please take some time to read carefully
through this product information before setting up the equipment.
Applications
The MCE 58 condenser microphone has been specially
developed for interviewing and broadcasting. Its unbalanced output
supplies a very high level which allows direct connection to portable
DAT and MD-machines.
The elasticated suspension of the transducer element eliminates
unwanted handling noise and built-in active filters suppress unwan-
ted low frequency noise such as traffic rumble. The specially con-
structed grille helps suppress wind noise and popping but for out-
door use, an additional windshield is recommended.
The non-glare Nextel surface is scratch-resistant and will withstand
™
the rough use often associated with news gathering events.
Supply
The MCE 58 is powered by a 1.5 V-battery (type Mignon
AA/LR6). To gain access, unscrew the lower part of the microphone
shaft and insert the battery according to the polarity marks. Battery
operating time is approximately 80 hours.
Position "OFF": Battery power is switched off.
Position "B.C.": (Battery Check), Battery condition is checked. The
red LED is illuminated when the battery has full
capacity.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the microphone in this position,
as the battery capacity will rapidly become
exhausted.
Position "ON": Battery power is switched on; the microphone is
ready for operation.
