6. Shutdown and storage
Before switching o the microphone or discon-
necting the cables, reduce the volume of con-
nected equipment.
Only then should the phantom power be switched
o.
Disconnect the cables.
When disconnecting a cable, always pull only on
the connector and not on the cable itself.
Microphones which are not in use should not be
allowed to remain on the stand gathering dust.
A microphone which is unused for a prolonged pe-
riod should be stored under normal atmospheric
conditions, and should be protected from dust.
For this purpose, use a lint-free, air-permeable
dust cover or the original packaging of the micro-
phone.
7. Troubleshooting
Problem
▶
Possible causes
▶
Solution
Microphone
not operating
The phantom power supply voltage is not
switched on at the mixing console or at the
power supply equipment.
Check the corresponding channel settings.
The power supply equipment is not
connected to the power supply line or there
is no battery.
Check the connection to the power supply
line or check the battery of the power supply
equipment.
No signal
transmission
The microphone is not connected to the
correct microphone amplifier input of the
subsequent equipment.
Check the signal path.
If necessary, activate the appropriate input
on the corresponding channel of the mixing
console.
