3.2 Adjusting the Type 4066 Headband
The Type 4066 Adjustable Miniature Microphone Headband is supplied with the boom mounted. To
change sides simply click the boom out of the clips and follow the instructions below.
• Hold the boom in your right hand when mounting on the right side and vice versa. Hold the
boom by the cable relief.
• Position your hand with the boom between the earhooks and turn the boom around in the loop.
Take your hand with the boom under the headband and draw it towards you.
• Now secure the microphone boom into the two clips next to the earhook beneath which the boom
is to be mounted. Next, secure the boom in the clip in the middle of the headband. This clip is
movable and should be placed near the end of the microphone boom, before the cable relief
(where the soft cable begins to be visible). The remaining two clips are not used (unless two booms
are to be mounted on the same headband.) The soft cable should not be attached into the clips.
Adjust the approximate position that the microphone boom should be placed on the cheek between
the ear and the mouth. Hold the headband when pushing or pulling the microphone boom. (Please
note that when placed near the ear, the high boost grid should be used in order to compensate for
the high frequency loss in this position. )
When bending the steel tube please treat with care. The steel tube must be bent around a
round object (min. diameter of 20mm) or a thumb as shown on the illustration in order not to
break the headband.
Attention: Do not make a sharp bend in the stainless steel tube, as this might break it or make
further adjustments impossible.
Attention: Do not bend the steel tube near the microphone element, as you risk breaking the
microphone element from the steel tube. The microphone element is perfectly omnidirectional and
does not need to point directly towards the mouth of the performer. Avoid positioning the
microphone in the air stream from nose or mouth.
