2. Do not expose the microphone to direct blasts of air or strong
air currents! Use a windscreen or suitable pop filter when close
miking a vocalist or certain types of wind instruments. P-popping
does not necessarily damage the ribbon element but may produce
unacceptable preamplifier overload and could cause damage to
speaker systems.
3. Do not expose the microphone to liquids or caustic smoke.
4. Do not expose the microphone to strong EMF (electro-magnetic
fields), such as the power transformers in amps, or hum may
result.
5. Use a soft cloth to clean the microphone body. A small amount
of denatured alcohol can be used to remove fingerprints and other
stains.
6.
Keep metal filings away from the microphone at all times.
The R-122V’s strong magnets can attract even the smallest metal
particles into the ribbon transducer, which can result in
compromised performance and the need for a re-ribbon.
7. When not in use, store the microphone, power supply and
cabling in it’s protective case.
8. Leave disassembly of the microphone to a trained technician.
Disassembly of the microphone will void your warranty. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
9. The R-122V’s power supply has no user serviceable parts
inside so do not attempt to make repairs. There are lethal voltages
present that can cause serious injury if mishandled. Leave servicing
to a qualified electronic technician.
10. The vacuum tube located inside the microphone body is a
sub-miniature type that is permanently wired into place. The mil-
spec 5840 tube has a minimum service life of over 50,000 hours,
so tube failure is highly unlikely. However, if the microphone
should develop a vacuum tube related problem, it must be returned
to the factory for service.
