SonoFlex is a condenser microphone specifically designed for capturing the sound of acoustic instruments.
It consists of four main components:
- 1.Microphone capsule
- 2.Gooseneck
- 3.Docking base
- 4.Connection port
The microphone capsule, gooseneck, and docking base are integrated into a single structure. Disassembly is not allowed, as it may result in malfunction or damage.
To use the microphone, attach the docking to the designated instrument mount using the Rotary-Lock mechanism. Once the mic is secured, adjust the gooseneck to position the capsule at the optimal locations.
On live stages, adapter cables can be used to connect to wireless inputs.
