5. Warning / Precautions
5.1 Damage protection
Always protect your ribbon microphone from any hard knocks! The ribbon assembly is quite frag-
ile so avoid any hard knocks, drops, or general rough handling. Always handle with complete
care.
5.2 High impact air movement protection
Prevent any sudden or strong blasts of air movement from ever reaching your microphone.
These can tear and destroy the fragile ribbon. Never blow into your microphone! It is advised to
always use a pop-filter/shield to prevent any percussive sounds and from damaging the ribbon. A
pop-filter will also help prevent damage from any mouth spray moisture.
5.3 Phantom power protection
Never intentionally or accidentally apply any phantom power from your mixer or external phantom
power supply. This could possibly burn up the ribbon. Please always check carefully before con-
necting your ribbon mic that there is no phantom power being provided to the microphone.
5.4 Storage
When not in use, always keep the microphone in the soft padded carry case provided. Always
store in a vertical position as the 2” ribbon can sag over time when laying horizontal, thus caus-
ing a degradation in performance.
Note: Damaged ribbons are not covered by warranty and there will be a charge to replace the
element.
