CARE OF YOUR MICROPHONE
Your microphone is a delicate precision instrument and it should be treated as such. Here are
some commonsense rules to keep your microphone healthy.
1. Be careful in your setup so that the microphone and/or power supply never falls to the floor.
Never
suspend the microphone by its cable, and be sure to position the cable so that it cannot
be tripped over. Falls to the floor have been the ruin of many a microphone.
2. NEVER hot-plug the microphone (i.e. plug the microphone into an energized power supply),
as the resulting voltage surges can damage the microphone’s or following preamplifier's
electronics.
3. Keep the microphone, cable and power supply in a safe place, such as its carrying case or a
microphone locker, when not in use.
4. When plugging in the seven-pin cable between the microphone and power supply, orient the
plug correctly and plug the connectors in
gently
. Rough handling or hurry-up plug-ins can
result in bent or broken pins.
5. Never connect the power supply to an AC power outlet that has different voltage than what
the power supply is set for.
6. Do not expose the microphone to dusty, smoky or humid environments.
7. Any repairs must be performed by a qualified technician. There are no user serviceable parts
in the MA-1000.
8. Use a soft, lint free cloth to remove fingerprints and other blemishes on the microphone body.
Never use chemicals, solvents or detergents.
