• Designed for close-up vocal use
• Silent on-off operation thanks to MagnaLock
switch design
• Hi-ENERGY
®
neodymium magnet for improved output and 
transient response
• Two-stage ball-type screen reduces wind noise and “popping”
during close use
• Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type 
connectors
• Rugged design and construction for reliable performance
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides 
and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
Output from the microphone’s XLRM-type connector is low 
impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins 2 and 3;
Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot” – positive
acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.

To avoid phase cancellation and poor sound, all mic cables must be
wired consistently: Pin 1-to-Pin 1, etc. For a high-impedance (Hi-Z)
mic input, connect a Lo-Z balanced cable to a Hi-Z matching 
transformer (A-T CP8201 or equal) at the equipment input.
When using the PRO 31 in settings with a stage monitor speaker, 
the speaker should be located 180° off axis (at the rear of the 
microphone). This placement, in conjunction with the microphone’s
uniform cardioid pickup pattern, will virtually eliminate the possibility
of undesired audio feedback.
The PRO 31 utilizes a MagnaLock on/off switch. This specially
designed switch operates silently and may be locked in the “on”
position to prevent accidental turn-off during use. To lock, slide the
switch up into the “on” position (Fig. 1a). Using a small flat-head
screwdriver, rotate the small screw in the center of the switch 90
degrees (
1
/
4
turn) counter-clockwise (Fig. 1b). Never force the screw.
When the screw slot position is horizontal (“across” the microphone
body), the switch is locked. To unlock the switch, turn the screw 90
degrees clockwise until the screw slot position is again vertical (in
line with the microphone body). Never try to turn the switch more
than 90 degrees or 
1

rotation. The switch may only be locked in the
“on” position. Do not try to turn the screw when the switch is in the
“off ” position.
Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen. An
accumulation of iron or steel filings on the diaphragm, and/or 
foreign material in the windscreen’s mesh surface, can degrade 
performance.
