Care for the SF-24V’s African Padouk Presentation Case
The SF-24V’s handcrafted presentation case is milled from two matching pieces of African
Padouk. To best protect the case, minimize direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat, and
moisture. As the case ages, it will take on a darker, more lustrous hue. To maintain and beautify
the case’s finish, we suggest wiping it with a thin coat of boiled linseed oil or Tung oil (available
at most home improvement stores) once a year. Use the oil sparingly and apply with a soft cloth.
Paste wax may also be used for a high luster finish.
CAUTION!
Due to the transducer’s powerful magnets, keep recorded tapes, spring-wound watches and
personal credit cards with magnetic coding away from the microphone to prevent possible
damage.
