[. . . ] Risk of damage Please make sure that the piece of equipment your microphone will beconnected to fulfills the safety regulations in force in your country and is fitted with a ground lead. [. . . ] The transducer element uses advanced backplate technology and a diaphragm that is gold-sputtered on one side only to prevent local shorting to the back electrode even at extremely high sound pressure levels. The all-metal body ensures efficient rejection of RF interference so you can use the microphone near transmitter stations, along with wireless microphones or other communications equipment. 1) lets you increase the microphone's headroom by 10 dB for distortion free recordings of very loud sound sources or close to sound sources. The preattenuation pads prevent the microphone's output level, particularly at low frequencies, from overloading the miniature transformers used in mixer input stages, etc. Figure 1: Preattenuation selector Bass Cut Selector Rumbling or wind noise may cause distortion at very low frequencies. The bass cut also minimizes the proximity effect that may arise when close-in miking from less than 6 inches. Figure 2: Bass cut selector Risk of damage Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other than a phantom power source (input with phantom power or external IEC standard phantom power supply) with a floating connector, using a balanced cable with studio grade connectors to IEC 268-12 only. Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the surface of the microphone body. [. . . ] To order a free copy of the Declaration of Conformity, visit http://www. [. . . ]
