Before You Start
When connecting the DK7 condenser microphones to a preamp with phantom
power, allow up to one minute for the microphone to settle. Plugging in the
microphone “hot” (phantom power already present at the input) will not damage
the microphone, and is actually preferred for faster settling. It is normal for any
phantom powered mic to “pop” when plugged in or powered up. Make sure to
mute the signal to speakers and/or headphones when phantom power is rst
applied.
