INTRODUCTION THANK YOU!... for choosing the Manley Laboratories REFERENCE MICROPHONES This manual covers the following models: Reference Stereo Multi-Pattern Microphone, Reference Gold Microphone (mono), and Reference Cardioid Microphone. Please read over this manual carefully as it contains information essential to proper operation of this unit. GENERAL NOTES MANLEY microphones will beat all-comers on grounds of sheer naturalness of the sound without coloration or perceivable sonic signature.
Our precision suspension system is provided with each REFERENCE MICROPHONE. Because the entire working “guts” of the microphone may be removed for service in one piece from the housing, it is envisioned that the microphone need not be removed from the suspension. We also provide a very useful swivel of our own design with every REFERENCE; its T-bar handle and locking clutch action require no tools to adjust.
MICROPHONE CONTROLS A - PATTERN SELECT CONTROL (GOLD MODELS) This control provides the user with a choice of any typical polar patterns. Many high quality condenser Microphones give the user 3 or 4 patterns only. We chose to provide you with an infinite number of patterns via this control. For example, a setting between the "heart shaped" CARDIOID and FIGURE 8 will result in "SUPER-CARDIOID" and "HYPER-CARDIOID" patterns.
GENERAL NOTES CONNECTIONS GOLD MODELS - carefully connect the 4 pin power cables to the mic and power supply. Line up the groove and ridge of these connectors to prevent accidental damage. Next connect a known good mic cable. We designed this mic to allow the user their choice of high quality cable. CARDIOID MODELS - connect 6 pins cable (supllied with mic) between PSU and mic. Audio comes from separate 3 pin XLR on the PSU.
MAINS CONNECTIONS Your unit has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel.
