FAQs
What is the primary use case for the HSM-700-4P?
The HSM-700-4P is designed for vocal and speech applications where a hands-free, clear audio pickup is required, such as live presentations, stage performances, and lectures.
What does 'Cardioid Directivity' mean for this microphone?
Cardioid directivity means the microphone is most sensitive to sounds coming from the front and less sensitive to sounds from the sides and rear. This helps to isolate your voice and reduce unwanted background noise or feedback.
How do I ensure this microphone is compatible with my wireless system?
You need to confirm that your wireless beltpack transmitter has a 4-pin mini XLR input connector specifically designed for headset microphones. Consult your transmitter's manual for compatibility information.
Can I use this microphone for loud music or high-SPL environments?
The microphone has a Sound Level SPL of 115dB, which is suitable for many vocal applications. For extremely loud environments like a drum kit or close-mic'd guitar amps, a different type of microphone might be more appropriate.
Does the microphone come with an adapter for standard XLR connections?
The Pulse HSM-700-4P is designed with a 4-pin mini XLR connector for direct use with compatible beltpack systems. It does not typically come with an adapter for standard XLR inputs, as it's intended for wireless transmission.
How long is the microphone lead?
The lead length for the HSM-700-4P is 1.2 meters.
What is the frequency response range?
The frequency response ranges from 70Hz to a maximum of 15kHz.
Troubleshooting
No sound output or low volume
Ensure the 4-pin mini XLR connector is fully seated in the beltpack transmitter. Verify that the transmitter is powered on and configured for a headset microphone. Check the microphone gain settings on the transmitter and in your audio system. Test with a different compatible beltpack or system if possible.
Excessive background noise or hum
Ensure the cardioid pattern is directed towards the sound source (your voice). Check that the cable is not damaged or twisted. Move the microphone capsule slightly if it's picking up too much ambient sound. Verify that all connections are secure and that there are no potential sources of electromagnetic interference nearby.
Microphone causes feedback
Adjust the microphone position so it is not pointing directly towards loudspeakers. Reduce the overall gain on your sound system. Ensure the foam windshield is properly attached. Try reducing the sensitivity setting on the beltpack transmitter if available.
Headset is uncomfortable or slips during use
Readjust the headband for a more secure fit. Ensure the boom arm is correctly positioned to balance the headset. Make sure hair is not interfering with the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the 4-pin mini XLR plug to the corresponding input on your compatible beltpack transmitter.

- Attach the foam windshield to the microphone capsule.
Compatibility:
This microphone features a 4-pin mini XLR connector, commonly used with wireless microphone systems from brands such as Shure, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, and others that utilize this specific connector type. *Always verify that your beltpack transmitter has a 4-pin mini XLR microphone input and is configured to accept this type of microphone.* Check your transmitter's manual for specific compatibility details.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the microphone and cable with a soft, dry cloth. For the headband and earpieces, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before use. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the headset in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective pouch, to prevent damage to the boom and cable.
- Windshield: Clean or replace the foam windshield regularly to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
