3. SERVICE POLAR PATTERN e To protect the mic cartridge and ensure the longest possible useful life it is highly recommended that for vocal applica tions an external foam windscreen be used over the ball grille This will prevent the buildup of saliva and perspiration on the cartridge diaphragm which degrades performance and shortens the useful life of the microphone Such a wind sock will also eliminate wind noise when the mic is used in a windy outdoor environment Capsule s bias voltage filter Stabilizer Power Output t t O 2 output e hr 1 1 148V Phantom Power Capsule i S i I i O 3 Output 1 High impedance Fi Pi ce FET Amplifier U S Should your Nady microphone require service please contact the Nady Service Department via telephone at 510 652 2411 or e mail at service nadywireless com INTERNATIONAL For service please contact the Nady distributor in your country through the dealer from whom you purchased this product Date of purchase Dealers Name Street City State Zip Note Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as it will void your warranty SPC 10 SPECIFICATIONS CARTRIDGE TYPE Condenser DIRECTIVITY PATTERN Cardioid pattern for optimum feedback rejection FREQUENCY RESPONSE 30 to 20 000Hz SENSITIVITY 1kHz 74dB S P L

5. t those with a unidirectional polar pattern such as the SPC 10 are specially designed to accept only signals from the audio source directly in front of the mic cartridge Thus the cardioid pattern of the SPC 10 ensures that it will deliver only the desired audio in front of the mic rejecting the unwanted audio from the rear even in noisy ambient conditions with high sound pressure levels from the PA and monitor speakers This means that feedback will be greatly minimized with the SPC 10 in all live performance miking applications Some useful ways in which to totally eliminate annoying feedback include experimenting with mic positions with respect to the speakers decreasing speaker volume whenev er possible and adjusting the equalization of the mic audio with the mixer PRECAUTIONS AND CARE OF YOUR SPC 10 The microphone should never be dropped or subjected to extreme shock Store only in a padded case to protect it dur ing transport e Keep the microphone away from extremely high tempera tures above 140 F or 60 C and humidity Avoid leaving the microphone in direct sunlight for long periods of time e When using the microphone outdoors avoid getting it wet e After use in a high moisture application such as a stage per formance wipe off the microphone with a dry cloth and per mit it to air dry Do not store the unit in a closed space e g a plastic bag until all moisture has evaporated FREQUENCY RESPONSE
