Thank you for purchasing TOA's Gooseneck Microphone. 
Please carefully follow the instructions in this manual to ensure long, trouble-free use of your equipment.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read

all the instructions in this section for correct and
safe operation.

• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions

in this section, which contain important warnings
and/or cautions regarding safety.

• After reading, keep this manual handy for future

reference.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor
personal injury, and/or property damage.

• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment

where it may be splashed by water or other liquids,
as doing so may result in electric shock. 

• (When attached to the ST-800) Avoid installing or

mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on
a rickety table or a slanted surface. Doing so may
result in the unit falling down and causing personal
injury and/or property damage. 

• Do not lay the connection cable where it can be

walked on or tripped over, causing personal injury.

4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Be sure to turn off the phantom power switch on the

equipment that the unit is connected to before
connecting or disconnecting the unit. As doing otherwise
may cause loud noise or damage to the unit or
connected equipment.

• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in

locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters,
or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing
otherwise may result in unit failure.

• Take care not to drop the unit onto the floor nor bump it

against a hard object as the unit could fail.

• Avoid using a mobile telephone near the microphone in

use. Noise could be picked up.

• To clean, be sure to first disconnect the connection

cable, then wipe with a dry cloth. When the unit gets very
dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser. Never
use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or chemically-treated
cleaning cloth because such volatile liquids could deform
or discolor the unit.

• Neither bend the gooseneck more than 90° in any

direction nor rotate it, as this could lead to microphone
failures.

• (When attached to the ST-800) Do not pick up the

microphone stand by the microphone, as this could lead
to failure.
