Instructions for use

Warranty Certificate

Attaching the microphone boom

The neckband has two holders which are designed so that the

microphone booms can be worn on either side of the mouth.

To change the microphone

boom, carefully lever it out of

the holder. To reattach the

microphone boom, press it into

the holder until it snaps in. The

upper round recess is for the

HSP 2 (

∅

1.1 mm). The lower square recess at the front keeps

the HSP 4 in a fixed, non-rotating position, thus ensuring that

the sound inlet is reliably directed towards the mouth.

To benefit for a long time from the reliable and firm guidance

through the holder you should not turn the microphone boom

in the recess. Always carefully lever it out of the holder and

then let it snap in again.

Note:

In order to ensure the adjustability of the angle of the

microphone boom, maintain a minimum distance of 1

–

cm between the holder and the cable connection.

The cushion delivered with your

HSP 2/HSP 4 improves the wea-

ring comfort. If desired, attach

the cushion to your microfone

boom fastener.

Adjusting the neckband

You can adjust the neckband to

fit all head sizes. To do so,

change the length of the

neckband by pushing in or

pulling out the ear bows.

Cable holder

Attach the microphone cable to

the holder in the centre of the

neckband.

Note:

When attaching the thin

cable, make sure you also

press the small cable sleeve

into the holder or the cable

will fall out.

Changing the microphone

The connection between the

microphone boom and the

microphone cable ist very tight.

To loosen this connection, in-

sert your fingernail into the join

and then pull the connector and

the socket apart as shown.

Note:

When pulling apart, make sure you hold the thick end of

the connector and the socket (NOT the cable).

Pulling the thin microphone boom or the cable sleeve can da-

mage the microphone boom or cable. This will invalidate the

Sennheiser warranty.

Positioning the microphone capsule (HSP 2)

It is best to keep the micropho-

ne capsule at the side of the

mouth to minimise the risk of

popping noises caused by plosi-

ves from the mouth.

To position the microphone

capsule, push the microphone

boom backwards or forwards in

the holder.

To adjust the angle of the

microphone boom, move it to

one of the three possible

positions until it snaps in.

Positioning the microphone capsule (HSP 4)

The microphone capsule has a

cardioid pick-up pattern and is

best placed directly at the corner

of the mouth.

Note:

Do not position the micro-

phone directly in front of your

mouth as it will pick up your

breathing and plosive noises

from your mouth. Make sure

that the windshield is put on.

To position the microphone capsule, push the microphone

boom backwards or forwards in the holder.

The microphone capsule can be precisely positioned using

the flexible gooseneck.

Cleaning the pop protection (HSP 4 only)

The pop protection is integrated into the microphone capsule

of the HSP 4. To clean or replace the pop protection, lever it

from the capsule.

Note:

When attaching the pop protection, it is important not to

cover the sound inlet!
