Powering the microphone

Th

  ere are two ways to power the TM-STPRO: 

1.   

Turn on the Phantom Power switch on your micro-

phone preamp. You should switch on phantom power for both 

channels of the TM-STPRO. Phantom power sends 48 volts 

to the microphone over the cable and is commonly found on 

professional mixers and recorders. 

2.  

Install a AA battery to power the microphone. An 

alkaline AA battery provides approximately 400 hours of op-

eration under normal circumstances. Th

  ere is no power switch 

on the TM-STPRO, so you need to remove the battery when 

you are fi nished using the microphone. 

Installing the battery

1.  

Unscrew microphone body cover

2.  

Remove the body shell 

3.  

Insert the battery, taking note of the polarity  

Battery Precautions: 

•  

Insert the battery correctly

• 

Do not charge the included AA battery

• 

Remove the battery if the microphone will not  

be used for a long period of time

• 

If the battery leaks, clean the battery holder    

before inserting a new battery

Using the Low Cut Filter

Th

  e low-cut fi lter switch is located on the top of the micro-

phone. To switch on the low cut fi lter, move the switch to the 

down position (indicated by the       icon). Move the switch 

to the up position for full bass response (indicated by the      

icon). Th

  e low cut fi lter attenuates frequencies below 150Hz at 

a cutoff  slope of 6dB per octave. 

To permanently set the microphone for fl at response, so that 

it cannot be accidentally switched to rolloff  mode, use the 

switch protector located under the switch. Unscrew the philips 

screw holding the switch protector in place, rotate it so it faces 

upward, then replace the philips screw.
