and 20 dB. Pre-attenuation is used in extremely high SPL environments in order to prevent clipping of the microphone, mixer
and other audio equipment
The microphone will automatically adjust to the next higher attenuation level if it experiences clipping due to a high SPL. The microphone
enters and leaves the automatic attenuation mode by constantly pressing the pre-attenaution push button ⑧ for more than 2 seconds. The
microphone is set to automatic attenuation mode if the status indicator ③ is illuminated in red. Please note that the microphone will need
one second to adjust to the new attenuation level in the event of too high sound pressure levels.
