Figure 8: Tower Microphone TM20 with Mounting Rod and Magnetic Base 

Please note that microphone discs GM90 with a heating connection marked 

with  "5V"  have  to  be  operated  only  via  USB  heating  cables  and  not  via  the 
heating output of the BATmode. Violation may result in the destruction of the 
microphone heater and equipment failure and damage, as well as data loss.
