Using the Optional Microphone
Shock Mount
Your SCM-700 microphone can be used with the optional Nady
SSM-7
00 spider shock mount (or equivalent), which uses an
elastic suspension to isolate the microphone from vibration,
thereby lowering noise transmitted to the microphone from
the stand. This is a useful tool in many situations, such as
when the performer is tapping his or her feet, or when there
is noise pickup from the rumbling of traffic outside of the build-
ing.
To insert your SCM
-700 microphone into the SSM-700
shock mount, f
irmly slide the microphone into place.
Using the Foam Windscreen or Pop Filter
TheFW-700optionalfoamwindscreen, or the SPF-1 or
MPF-7 pop filterscanalsobeusedwithyour SCM-700. The
FW-700 fits over the grill portion of the microphone and is
designed primarily to decrease bass rumble (from wind noise
pickup during outdoor live or recording use. It is also useful
in keeping mouth spray out of themicrophonehead.The
FW-700oreither the SPF-1 or MPF-7 pop filtershould be
used whenever someone is close miked to both protect the
microphone and to also eliminate “popping” from percussive
breath sounds.
Note: Be aware that the foam windscreen will slightly attenuate the high
frequency response of the microphone.
Connecting the SCM-700
The SCM-700 can be used in live sound reinforcement and
broadcasting and in studio or live recording. It must be powered
by at least 5V DC phantom power (such as supplied by the op-
tional Nady SMPS-1X phantom power supply or a mixing console
with phantom powering), or can be plugged directly into a laptop,
desktop, tablet or smartphone using the included 3.5mm TRRS Y-
cable.
The SCM-700 can be connected to your mixer or phantom
power supply using a standard balanced 3-pin XLR mic cable.
Before connecting to a mixer directly, turn the channel to which
you’re connecting to its lowest gain setting. If you are using the
Nady SMPS-1X phantom power supply, connect in the following
order:
1. Connect the SCM-700 to the SMPS-1X
2. Connect the SMPS-1X signal output to your mixer
3. Connect the SMPS-1X to the AC power supply
(115-230VAC)
4. Turn on the SMPS-1X Power On/Off switch
5. Slowly turn up the channel gain in your mixer to the
desired level
