-
Remove the V13 microphone from its wood storage box. Hold the microphone carefully
and thread the base of the V13 microphone into the threaded locking nut of the VLSM
shockmount until tight.
Don’t over-tighten - you might need to re-adjust the microphone’s
angle.
-
Ensure the power switch on the rear of the PS-13 power supply is OFF. Plug the female end
of the 7-pin cable into the bottom of the V13 microphone, taking care to align the cable
correctly before plugging it in.
You can look at the bottom of the microphone and see the
slotted insert on the side of the 7-pin jack, and correctly align the slotted insert of the 7-pin
cable with it. The power supply should always be off when plugging and unplugging the
V13 microphone. Incorrect alignment of the cable may result in electric shock or damage
to your V13 microphone.
-
Position your V13 microphone as desired towards your sound source.
If you are using the
V13 microphone on vocals, it is important to use a high quality Pop Filter to protect the
capsule against breath moisture, as well as plosive blasts like “P”, “K”, “T”, etc. Failure to use
a pop filter may result in damage to your microphone.
4) Turn on the PS-13 power supply.
-
Turn on PS-13 with the red lighted switch on the rear of the PS-13 power supply, right next to
the AC INPUT jack.
You won’t hear any sound for about 10 seconds as the microphone
warms up.
-
Allow the tube and electronics temperature to stabilize for at least 5 minutes before
recording.
