or a hum may result.
5. Use a soft cloth to clean the microphone body. A small
amount of denatured alcohol can be used to remove fingerprints
and other stains.
6. Keep metal filings away from the microphone at all times.
The SF-12's powerful magnets can attract minute ferris particules
into the ribbon transducers, compromising the performance.
7. When not in use, store the microphone in its protective carrying
case. If the microphone is to remain set up on a mic stand
between sessions, cover it with its mic sock (provided with your
SF-12).
8. Leave disassembly of the microphone to a trained technician.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Caution: Do not check the SF-12 with an ohmmeter or continuity
tester, and do not connect the unit to an input device designed to
power a capacitor microphone. Strong winds and mechanical
shocks should be avoided.
Care for the Optical Black Finish
The SF-12's optical black finish is a sophisticated surface treatment
designed to refract light rather than reflect it. This makes
the microphone appear less conspicuous, especially when used
with high intensity lighting or within a camera shot. The finish
requires occasional maintenance to retain a smooth, even
appearance and to maintain its unique optical qualities.
The SF12's body is comprised of a low carbon steel alloy. Its
finish consists of black chrome deposited over a nickel substrate,
creating a finish that minimizes the reflective nature of
the metal surface. A small amount of oil has been worked into
the finish at the factory to protect it. Over time, some of this oil
will be drawn out due to "wicking" action; the physical handling
of the microphone, absorbent materials it is exposed to
(like the foam padding of the microphone case), etc. As the oils
are drawn out of the microscopic surface layer, the microphone
finish may develop an uneven appearance. If this happens, simply
massage the microphone gently with a lint free cloth treated
with a few drops of light machine oil or WD-40® (apply the
