Thank you for selecting the Opus 55 Mk II neckworn microphone.
Please take some time to read carefully through this product
information before using the product.
Application
The Opus 55 Mk II has been designed for "hands free" applications.
It is ideal for sales and product seminars, workshops, entertainers,
dancers, drummers, keyboard players etc. Due to its low profile the
Opus 55 Mk II is also ideal for aerobics instructors, theatre use and
stage musicals.
Connection
Two versions of the Opus 55 Mk II are available for use with wireless
beltpack transmitters: The Opus 55.18 Mk II comes with a 4-pin
mini XLR plug. The Opus 55.09 Mk II has a bare-ended cable.
For wired applications with phantom power sources the
Opus 55.18 Mk II can be used with the CV 18 adapter.
Setting up and adjustment
The Opus 55 Mk II features a rugged, adjustable neckband and
flexible ear loops that can be shaped for personal comfort to ensure a
secure fit. Featuring small ear loops and a flexible yet rugged
construction, the Opus 55 Mk II is also suitable for people who wear
glasses.
The Opus 55 Mk II has an omnidirectional polar pattern and is
insensitive to handling and wind noise.
The flexible gooseneck allows optimum positioning of the micro-
phone. For maximum intelligibility the microphone should not be
placed in front of the mouth, but to the side of the mouth. Avoid
excessive bending of the gooseneck as it can cause stress and damage.
Maintenance
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning the Opus 55 Mk II microphone and
connecting cable. If necessary, you can use a gentle cleansing agent
(such as washing-up liquid). Make sure not to allow any water to
enter the microphone and never use any solvent cleansers.
If you use the Opus 55 Mk II with a pop screen, you should clean it in
warm water from time to time. Make sure the pop screen is completely
dry before it is replaced.
Service
Servicing must be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
Dismantling the microphone yourself will render the guarantee null
and void.
