HSP 2/HSP 4  
HSP 2 and HSP 4 are high-quality condenser headmics designed  
for professional “hands free” applications. Their adjustable  
neckband is visually unobtrusive and very comfortable to wear.  
The 24 available HSP variants differ in size, color and connector  
(see “HSP 2 cable variants” on page 11 and “HSP 4 cable variants”  
on page 17).  
There are two pick-up patterns available:  
HSP 2: omni-directional  
HSP 4: cardioid  
Features  
Individually adjustable to all head sizes  
Neckband design keeps the microphone clear from shirt-collar  
or clothing  
Thin microphone boom, interchangeable  
Microphone boom can be attached to the left or right side  
(clip)  
Adjustable neckband for optimum adaption of the angle  
Microphone boom is adjustable in length  
All metal parts of the neckband and the microphone boom are  
coated in a physical vapour deposition process (scratch-  
resistant)  
Modular overall system, i.e. all system components are easily  
interchangeable

Putting the HSP 2 into operation  
The HSP 2 is ready for operation on delivery. The microphone can  
be worn on the left or right side of the mouth. If you do not want  
to change sides, continue on page 7.  
Attaching the microphone to the left or right side  
The neckband has as a clip which is designed so that  
the microphone boom can be worn on either side of  
the mouth.  
CAUTION! Damage to the microphone boom!  
The microphone boom can break or be impaired in  
its function when you bend or turn it in the wrong  
place.  
̈ Only adjust the microphone boom as described in  
this chapter.  
To remove the microphone boom:  
̈ Open the clip on the neckband.  
̈ Carefully remove the microphone boom and the neckband from  
the clip.

Adjusting the microphone boom and the neckband  
For best possible comfort and optimum fit of the headmic, the  
neckband and the microphone boom have to be adjusted to  
properly fit your head.  
CAUTION! Damage to the microphone boom!  
The microphone boom can break or be impaired in  
its function when you bend or turn it in the wrong  
place.  
̈ For adjusting the microphone boom, ONLY bend  
or turn the neckband.  
Positioning the microphone towards the corner of the mouth  
To individually position the microphone:  
̈ Bend the neckband ³ at the  
clip to adjust the angle of the  
microphone boom .  
̈ Push the microphone boom ꢀ  
backwards or forwards in the  
clip so that the microphone is  
positioned at the corner of the  
mouth as shown.  
³
2–3 cm

Adjusting the neckband  
The neckband is flexible and ensures an optimum fit.  
̈ Change the length of the  
neckband until a snug but  
comfortable fit is achieved.  
̈ If necessary, adjust the neck-  
band at the earhooks.  
Attaching the cable to the cable  
grip  
̈ Attach the microphone cable  
to the cable grip in the centre  
of the neckband.  
Note:  
When attaching the thin  
cable, make sure you also  
press the small cable sleeve  
into the cable grip or the  
cable will fall out.

Windshields for the HSP 2  
The quality of outdoor recordings  
and close miking can be impaired  
by wind noise. An effective  
attenuation of wind noise can be  
obtained by using the MZW 2 and  
the MZW 02 windshields.  
»
To begin with, use the MZW 2  
windshield » which reduces wind  
noise by a maximum of 20 dB.  
With the additional MZW 02 foam  
windshield you can reduce wind  
noise by a further 10 dB.  
The MZW 2 and MZW 02 are  
available as accessories.

Treble boost using the frequency response caps  
Your HSP 2 headmic is supplied with two different frequency  
response caps. These caps allow you to adjust the microphone’s  
sensitivity in the presence area (see “Frequency response curve  
HSP 2” on page 24):  
Short cap: MZC 2-1 (treble boost of 2 dB)  
Long cap: MZC 2-2 (treble boost of 4 dB)  
Use these caps if the microphone cannot be positioned close to the  
mouth. The further away the microphone is from the mouth, the  
less treble is picked up. In addition, you should use these caps if  
the sound is too muffled or if you want to increase the speech  
intelligibility.  
̈ Slip the cap of your choice onto the microphone until it engages  
with the second notch.
