Thank you for purchasing the QA22 Dual Ear Headworn Microphone.
To get started, remove the QA22 mic from the zip pouch, along with its cable, tie clip, and a windscreen.
Place them in front of you along with your adapter of choice.
Carefully remove the plastic protector covering the capsule.
When fitting oneself with the QA22 for the first time, we suggest standing or sitting in front of a mirror, and
without the cable, adapter, or tie clip attached.
Orientate the ear cushions for placing the mic boom arm over either the left or right ear by rotating the ear
cushions accordingly.
Place the QA22 around the back of your neck, resting on your neck and collar.
Take hold of the ear cushion closest to the mic boom arm with one hand. Place the bottom thick part of that
ear cushion into the space behind and under your ear lobe, and hold it there. Position the top flexible part of
that ear cushion around the top of the ear with the other hand. Then, repeat this application with the other
ear cushion on the other ear.
Next, reaching behind your neck, grab each positioning tab on the headband with each hand respectively
and pull them away from each other, tightening the headband. Look all the way up, and all the way down, all
the way left and all the way right, and tilt your head all the way left and right. The band will self-adjust
slightly to your movements.
Carefully bend the boom arm into place, and into a smooth rounded shape. Avoid bending the boom arm
too sharply. Also avoid bending the boom arm close to the capsule. Minimize any touching or handling of
the mic capsule. The capsule should be positioned near the corner of your mouth when smiling. Best audio
gain results are usually achieved by positioning the capsule as close to the corner of the mouth as possible.
For smaller jaw lines, the boom arm can be carefully unclipped, or removed, from the front of the headband
where it’s position, and then clipped to the headband just behind the positioning tab for shorter boom arm
lengths.
Remove the mic from your head and attach the cable firmly to both the boom arm, and the adapter of
choice. Carefully apply the windscreen over the capsule for additional plosive protection. Attach the tie clip
