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 5-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, smokey, or humid environments.
7. Any repairs must be performed by a qualified technician. Other than the EF-86 tube, there
are no user serviceable parts in the MA-37. For tube replacement instructions, please contact

8. Use a soft, lint free cloth to remove fingerprints and other blemishes on the microphone
body. Never use chemicals, solvents, or detergents.
