Using the Windscreens and Protective Caps
Grip the internal frame of the windscreen firmly when connecting or
removing. Do not pull on the foam itself.
• To connect, push the windscreen until it snaps into place over the
cartridge.
• To remove, pull the windscreen directly off of the cartridge.
Always use the BETA 54 with the
standard protective cap only.
Using the microphone with no
cap, or with the filtered cap, will
degrade sound quality and alter
the microphone’s polar pattern.
