royer SF-24V, Operation Instructions Manual & User Manual

Hold the mic by placing the transducer (ribbon element) end in
the palm of one hand. While holding the shock mount in the
other hand, gently insert the microphone's base into the upper
tube first. Be sure that the logo on the microphone aligns itself
with the slot in the upper support tube as you feed the mic
through.
(Figure 2)
Continue to feed the microphone through the upper tube and
into the lower tube where it will stop when it reaches the lip at
the bottom of the lower tube. Do not force or jerk the
microphone into position!
Removing the Microphone from the Shock
Removal is simply the reverse process. Firmly grip the
microphone with one hand and gently slide it out of the shock-
mount.
(Figure 3) It may help to gently push from the bottom of
the microphone while removing it from the lower tube. Again,
be sure not to force or jerk the microphone. Ribbon elements are
sensitive to abrupt shocks and blasts of air, so be gentle.
Note: If, after a time, body oils or other contaminants make it
difficult to insert or remove the microphone from the shock
mount, a small amount of talc can be used to "lubricate" the
microphone housing. Use talc very sparingly and do not let any
of it get into the ribbon transducers, as it can compromise the
ribbons’ performance.
Connecting the SF-24
The SF-24V comes with a dedicated power supply that operates
from line voltages ranging from 100-240 volts AC. A seven-pin
cable is used to power the microphone and carry the audio
signals from the microphone to the power supply. An IEC
business type three-conductor detachable line cord provides
power to the supply from an AC mains source. For voltages
configurations available outside the United States, adapters are
readily available to convert the power cord's male end to the
corresponding outlet type as needed. Before using your SF-24V,
be certain that the voltageselector/fuse block is configured for
the proper voltage.
