Thank you for selecting the Opus 54 neckworn microphone. Please take
some time to read carefully through this product information before
setting up the equipment.
Application
The Opus 54 has been designed for "hands free" applications. It is ideal
for sales and product seminars, workshops, entertainers, dancers, drummers, key-
board players etc. Due to its low profile the Opus 54 is also suited for aerobics
instructors, theatre use and stage musicals.
Connection
Three versions of the Opus 54 are available for use with wireless belt-
pack transmitters: The Opus 54.100 is equipped with a 3.5 mm Mini stereo
Jack plug, the Opus 54.16/3 is fitted with a 4-pin Lemo plug and the
Opus 54.18 comes with a 4-pin mini XLR plug. The Opus 54.09 has a bare-
ended cable.
For wired applications with phantom power sources the Opus 54.16/3 can be
used with the CV 3 adapter. If the CV 3 is completed with the ZCV battery
compartment, the Opus 54 can also be used battery powered (9 V).
Setting up and adjustment
The Opus 54 features a rugged yet adjustable neckband and flexible
ear bows that can be shaped for personal comfort to ensure a secure fit. The
Opus 54 is also suited for people who wear glasses.
The Opus 54 has a cardioid polar pattern which means a high gain before
feedback can be achieved, it also helps eliminate background noise.
The flexible gooseneck allows optimum positioning of the microphone and
due to the angled form of the microphone it can be placed to the side of the
mouth for maximum intelligibility. Avoid continuous bending of the gooseneck
as it can cause excessive stress and wear out the gooseneck.
Maintenance
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning the Opus 54 microphone and
connecting cable. If necessary, you can use a gentle cleansing agent (such as
washing-up liquid). Make sure not to allow any water to enter the transducer
element and never use any solvent cleansers.
If you use the Opus 54 with a pop screen, you should clean it in clear water
from time to time. Make sure the pop screen is completely dry before it is
replaced back onto the microphone.
Service
Servicing must be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
Dismantling the microphone yourself will render the guarantee null and void.
