HSP 2/HSP 4
HSP 2 and HSP 4 are high-quality condenser headmics designed
for professional “hands free” applications. Their adjustable
neckband is visually unobtrusive and very comfortable to wear.
The 24 available HSP variants differ in size, color and connector
(see “HSP 2 cable variants” on page 11 and “HSP 4 cable variants”
on page 17).
There are two pick-up patterns available:
•
•
HSP 2: omni-directional
HSP 4: cardioid
Features
•
•
Individually adjustable to all head sizes
Neckband design keeps the microphone clear from shirt-collar
or clothing
•
•
Thin microphone boom, interchangeable
Microphone boom can be attached to the left or right side
(clip)
•
•
•
Adjustable neckband for optimum adaption of the angle
Microphone boom is adjustable in length
All metal parts of the neckband and the microphone boom are
coated in a physical vapour deposition process (scratch-
resistant)
•
Modular overall system, i.e. all system components are easily
interchangeable

Putting the HSP 2 into operation
The HSP 2 is ready for operation on delivery. The microphone can
be worn on the left or right side of the mouth. If you do not want
to change sides, continue on page 7.
Attaching the microphone to the left or right side
The neckband has as a clip which is designed so that
the microphone boom can be worn on either side of
the mouth.
CAUTION! Damage to the microphone boom!
The microphone boom can break or be impaired in
its function when you bend or turn it in the wrong
place.
̈ Only adjust the microphone boom as described in
this chapter.
To remove the microphone boom:
̈ Open the clip on the neckband.
̈ Carefully remove the microphone boom and the neckband from
the clip.

Adjusting the microphone boom and the neckband
For best possible comfort and optimum fit of the headmic, the
neckband and the microphone boom have to be adjusted to
properly fit your head.
CAUTION! Damage to the microphone boom!
The microphone boom can break or be impaired in
its function when you bend or turn it in the wrong
place.
̈ For adjusting the microphone boom, ONLY bend
or turn the neckband.
Positioning the microphone towards the corner of the mouth
To individually position the microphone:
̈ Bend the neckband ³ at the
clip to adjust the angle of the
microphone boom ꢀ.
̈ Push the microphone boom ꢀ
backwards or forwards in the
clip so that the microphone is
positioned at the corner of the
mouth as shown.

Adjusting the neckband
The neckband is flexible and ensures an optimum fit.
̈ Change the length of the
neckband until a snug but
comfortable fit is achieved.
̈ If necessary, adjust the neck-
band at the earhooks.
Attaching the cable to the cable
grip
̈ Attach the microphone cable
to the cable grip in the centre
of the neckband.
Note:
When attaching the thin
cable, make sure you also
press the small cable sleeve
into the cable grip or the
cable will fall out.
8
Windshields for the HSP 2
The quality of outdoor recordings
and close miking can be impaired
by wind noise. An effective
attenuation of wind noise can be
obtained by using the MZW 2 and
the MZW 02 windshields.
»
To begin with, use the MZW 2
windshield » which reduces wind
noise by a maximum of 20 dB.
With the additional MZW 02 foam
windshield ꢁ you can reduce wind
noise by a further 10 dB.
ꢁ
The MZW 2 and MZW 02 are
available as accessories.
9
Treble boost using the frequency response caps
Your HSP 2 headmic is supplied with two different frequency
response caps. These caps allow you to adjust the microphone’s
sensitivity in the presence area (see “Frequency response curve
HSP 2” on page 24):
•
•
Short cap: MZC 2-1 (treble boost of 2 dB)
Long cap: MZC 2-2 (treble boost of 4 dB)
Use these caps if the microphone cannot be positioned close to the
mouth. The further away the microphone is from the mouth, the
less treble is picked up. In addition, you should use these caps if
the sound is too muffled or if you want to increase the speech
intelligibility.
̈ Slip the cap of your choice onto the microphone until it engages
with the second notch.
