Pulsar II  •  Care and Usage

2

Applications

The Pulsar II’s clean electronics combine with an evaporated gold diaphragm to produce 
a smooth tone that makes it a great instrument-recording microphone. Use it on string 
instruments, wind instruments, as an overhead drum mic, or as a room ambience recording 
mic. When you’re ready to add more pro-quality microphones to your mic locker, consider the 
award-winning M-Audio Luna and the multi-pattern recording features of the M-Audio Solaris 
microphone and the Sputnik tube microphone.

Cardioid Pattern

Cardioid is the most commonly used polar pattern engineered into microphones. This design 
causes the rear of the microphone to reject incoming sound, allowing the engineer to isolate 
the signal source from other performance elements or background noise by just pointing the 
mic at the sound source. 

Microphone Care

Here are a few tips for care of your Pulsar II microphone:

Never subject the Pulsar II to physical shock.

Always use a stand and always use the included hard mount when securing to a stand.

<   

Avoid harmful moisture condensation on the diaphragm when moving the microphone 
between outdoor and indoor environments by allowing the microphone to acclimate to 
room temperature before connection.

<   

Always use top-quality cables in order to avoid electrical problems that may damage the 
microphone’s electronics.

<   

Avoid subjecting the Pulsar II to any kind of moisture. In vocal applications, use the 
enclosed windscreen to protect the diaphragm from breath condensation and saliva 
build-up.

Never disassemble the Pulsar II microphone. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Avoid temperature extremes above 95°F and below 50°F. 

<   

Always wipe the Pulsar II exterior down with a soft dry cloth and return it to its case after 
each use to prevent damage from dust.

<   

In the event that your Pulsar II needs more extensive cleaning, lightly dampen a soft cloth 
with water or mild household soap and clean the metal exterior, wiping it completely dry 
when finished. Never spray a cleaning agent on the microphone itself, as the moisture 
can damage the unit.
