View larger LOCK MODE
Live-sound engineers as well as engineers for theater, opera, or musical productions often use the same microphones for the same purposes every night, and may even install some microphones permanently. In Lock Mode, all controls on the microphone are disabled so the settings you selected for a specific application (polar pattern, preattenuation pad, bass cut filter) cannot be changed unintentionally.

The polar pattern indicator LEDs also provide an overload indication. With conventional peak indicators, overload peaks lasting only for a fraction of a second may easily escape your attention. The new peak hold function makes sure you will notice even the shortest overload peak: If the output level of the microphone exceeds the overload limit, the currently active polar pattern LED will change to red for about 3 seconds.
