GENERAL GUIDELINES
PHANTOM POWER
Your microphone is a valuable and important investment. Like any
piece of recording equipment or musical instrument, it requires
common sense and good basic care to keep it working properly.
Given simple, basic care, your new microphone will perform
admirably for decades.
The R44ACE is a phantom-powered ribbon microphone. Although
the R44ACE needs a standard 48V phantom power source to
operate, it is recommended always to disengage phantom power
before plugging and unplugging any ribbon microphones.
The phantom current draw for active AEA ribbon mics is 7
milliamps. IEC specifies that P48 power should be able to deliver
10 milliamps per input. Some USB and battery-powered audio
interfaces do not deliver this. Please check the current values
available on your unit to ensure the best performance.
MICROPHONE STORAGE
Keep the microphone covered when it is not in use. Keeping the
microphone covered when it is not in use will reduce the possibility
of damage that might result from a sudden gust of air coming from
air-conditioning or an open door or window. Place the supplied
protective bag over the microphone when it is not in use. For long
term storage, place the microphone in its protective case. Minute
iron particles, sometimes known as “tramp iron,” are common
within our environment. AEA ribbon microphones contain
powerful magnets that produce strong magnetic fields. These fields
can attract any ferric metal near the microphone that, if they are
small enough, can penetrate the outer screening and work their way
inside the microphone. Over time, this “tramp iron” can build up
