Powering - VR2 ONLY
To ensure proper operation, the VR2 microphone requires a phantom power source providing 48
Volts according to IEC 61938.
Risk of damage
Do not connect the VR2 microphone to any power supply other than a
phantom power source (input with phantom power or external IEC
standard phantom power supply) with a floating connector, using a
balanced cable with studio grade connectors to IEC 268-12 only. This is
the only way to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Note: The VR1 is a passive ribbon microphone and does not require phantom power for
operation.
Safety and maintenance
Risk of damage
Please make sure that the piece of equipment to which your microphone
will be connected fulfils the safety regulations enforced in your country
and is fitted with a ground lead.
Cleaning the microphone
After every use, clean the microphone with a dry, soft cloth tissue and store it in a solid case or a
zipper pouch.
