//

 The capsule is a sensitive, high precision component . Make sure you do not 

drop it from high heights and avoid strong mechanical stress and force .

 To make sure that the microphone’s high sensitivity and sound reproduction 

quality is sustained, avoid exposing it to moisture, dust or extreme temperatures .

//

 Do not apply extensive force when disconnecting a cable, always pull on the 

connector and not on the cable itself .

dust or be unnecessarily exposed to humidity . Store it in a dry and safe space .

//

 Do not attempt to modify or fix the microphone as it would void your product 

warranty .

use alcohol or another solvent for cleaning .
