Adjusting the Headband and Microphone
Reversing the Boom
The microphone boom can be positioned on the left or right side of the head.
- Squeeze the earpiece towards the headband.
- Push out the boom arm and boom pivot.
- On the other side, repeat the steps to remove the boom pivot.
- Move the boom arm to the preferred side, ensuring that the boom arm is placed in the slot in the boom pivot.
- Squeeze each earpiece towards the headband to push boom pivots back into place.

Attaching the Windscreen
There are two windscreens for use with the DuraPlex microphone:
- A slide-fit windscreen for use with the presence cap

Specifications
Note:
- All specification values are based on using a typical bodypack with 5 V bias input or the RPM400MTQG preamplifier. When using the RPM400LEMO amplifier, refer to the RPM400LEMO specifications.
- All specifications measured with a 48 Vdc phantom power supply. The microphone operates at lower voltages, but with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity.
