Mounting your SVM
• The SVM incorporates a standard camera-
shoe mount on the bottom of the microphone.
Designed to reduce motor and handling noise,
the shock mount has a 3/8” threaded insert for
mounting on tripods and poles. You will fi nd older
models and low cost cameras produce more motor
noise, which the highly sensitive SVM can pick up. If
so, engage the High Pass Filter (HPF) to reduce this
noise (see SVM controls).
• Before sliding the camera-shoe into place, turn
the knurled tightening ring anti-clockwise which
will make sliding the camera-shoe into place much
easier. Now turn the knurled ring in a clockwise
direction, gently tightening it so the SVM is seated
fi rmly in place. You will notice the SVM may seem
slightly loose in its mount. This is due to the shock
mount system and is not a fault.
• The SVM delivers a mic level signal to the video
camera via a stereo mini jack audio lead. The mini
jack should be connected to the camera via the
camera’s “Audio-In” socket- refer to your video
camera user manual.
