IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Please read all safety precautions and operating instructions before attempting to operate the unit. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or injury, the following basic safety precautions should always be followed when using an electrical appliance.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Condenser microphones are extremely moisture-sensitive. Never use your microphone in close proximity to water or in extremely
humid conditions.
• Do not expose the microphone to extreme temperatures.
• Take care not to drop your microphone as this can lead to severe damage.
• After each use, wipe the microphone down with a soft cloth and place it back into its protective case.
• Do not attempt to alter or disassemble the microphone.
POWER SUPPLY
Phantom Power
This microphone requires phantom power to operate. Phantom power is DC current generated from pro audio equipment such as
mixers and pre-amplifiers, and requires the use of a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS. Always mute the sound
on your system before you switch on the phantom power supply.
Connecting to a Mixer or Computer
Computer:
To deliver audio directly to a computer, use a USB audio interface with an XLR microphone input that provides the required
phantom power.
Mixer:
When connecting to a mixer, use only balanced, microphone-level inputs with phantom power. Most mixers have a switch for
phantom power, so make sure phantom power is on for that channel.
USAGE
• Turn on your amplifier or mixing board and set the volume control to the minimum position.
• Connect the phantom power to the microphone.
• Adjust your volume.
• Do not cover the head of the microphone, position it too close to the speaker, or point it directly at the speaker.
