The LA-278 has a uni-directional pickup pattern. This means that the microphone’s element must be
oriented towards your mouth. It will not pick up audio very well from the side of the microphone.
The main advantage of this type of microphone is that it helps minimize feedback and picks up less
environmental noise.
•Set the microphone sensitivity switch (located inside front cover of the LT-700 Portable FM
Display Transmitter) to the MED position.
•Place the unit behind your head, below the hairline stretching the wire to fit comfortable over
your ears. Position the microphone as close as possible to your mouth. For best results the mic
element should be 1 to 2 inches from your mouth. This will help to ensure that the microphone
picks up your voice rather than room noise.
•Connect the microphone plug firmly to the microphone jack on the LT-700.
