3.4 Powering Up
Note:
• To avoid damage or electric shock, mount the microphone on a suitable stand
and make all audio connections before connecting the Remote Control Unit to
power.
1. Use the supplied audio/control cable (A) to connect the microphone output to the INPUT
connector(B) on the Remote Control Unit rear panel.
2. Use a standard balanced XLR cable (C) (optional) to connect the OUTPUT connector (D)
on the Remote Control Unit rear panel to the desired microphone input on your mixer.
1. Prior to connecting the Remote Control Unit to power, check what power voltage is avail-
able where you are going to use the microphone.
2. Set the power voltage selector (G) on the rear panel to the correct position as shown in
Table 1 below.
3. Referring to Table 1 above, use the correct power cord to connect the Remote Control
Unit to a grounded power outlet.
When on tour, you may encounter power outlets that do not match the power plug on
any of the supplied power cords.
• Purchase a suitable power cord locally that complies with IEC and local safety
standards and has a power plug with a chassis ground pin.
• To avoid damage or electric shock, connect the Remote Control Unit to a grounded
power outlet only.
• If in doubt about the power connection, consult a local electrician.
• Set the power switch on the Remote Control Unit rear panel to “I”.
After about ten seconds, the heating voltage will have reached the specified level and
the front panel POWER LED will be lit. About twenty seconds later, the microphone will
be ready to operate.
• You may not get the full splendor of the tube sound before the electrodes have reached
the required operating temperature. Therefore, we recommend powering up at least
