ENGLISH

Your new VR88 ribbon microphone is a sophisticated audio instrument and

with proper care and handling it will provide years of enjoyable and reliable

performance. Follow each point below to ensure a your microphone remains

in good condition.

• Handle the VR88 carefully and avoid dropping the microphone.

• Always store the VR88 in its case. It’s a good idea to keep the case upright

so that the microphone is at a ninety-degree angle with the floor or

storage shelves.

• Always keep the included sock on the microphone when you’re handling

it or when it’s set up but not in use. Always cover the microphone with

the included sock when moving the microphone around the studio or

sound stage.

• Be mindful of, and protect the microphone's ribbon element from direct

blasts of air.

• Whenever possible, use a pop filter on vocals and other plosive sounds to

avoid excessive blasting on the ribbon element.

• Be sure to lower the mixer’s channel and master faders when connecting

or disconnecting the microphone, and when switching the phantom

power supply on and off.

• Be sure to use good working, high quality cables like the included

Samson Tourtek TM20L XLR mic cable.

• Keep the microphone clean and free from contact with any foreign

particles.

• Don’t use the VR88 in close proximity of an AC motor.

• While traveling on an aircraft, never transport the VR88 in a non-

pressurized luggage compartment. If possible, hand carry it on to the

plane.

• If you lend your VR88 to a friend, make sure that they are familiar with

the operation of ribbon mics and understand all of the points above.
