1) Read all documentation before operating your equipment.
2) Retain all documentation for further reference.
3) Do not connect/disconnect any microphone when the Phantom is already activated.
4) The diaphragm is the most sensible part of the microphone and it must be left untouched to preserve its original performances.
Do not spray any substance, like hair spray, directly into the microphone and avoid getting make-up or paint on the microphone
element and its housing.
5) Despite the resistant materials we use, please keep your microphones away from any kind of unnecessary exposure to water
and high humidity, moisture and sweat.
6) Keep the microphone element dry at all times. The protection grid may cleaned with distilled water. Avoid all kinds of spray
or fluids, which contain chemical components to remove static electricity on or close to the microphone as this could cause
damage to the electret layer.
7) Mounting the microphone close or directly on the skin of a performer, be careful to avoid sweat from running directly into the
microphone. If the microphone has been exposed to sweat it must be rinsed out in distilled water and left to dry out to recover
its original specifications. Drying out your microphone between exposures to humidity will also help to extend its lifetime.
8) If the microphone gets filled up with water it will not be damaged, but possibly turn deaf while the water is captured inside the
microphone, behind the protection grid. Remove the water by shaking the microphone or drying it with a piece of lint free cloth.
9) Use of windscreen is recommended also using your microphone in dirty or dusty environments.
10) Exposing the microphone to make-up or dusty materials, the grid could get clogged. Remove the microphone grid from
the microphone body and clean the grid using a soft cloth with few drops of distilled water only. Make sure the grid is dry
before remounting it on the microphone element.
11) When not in use, the microphone should be disconnected and stored in the supplied case.
12) The cable is usually longer than required for its actual purpose. Ensure that superfluous cable is wound up in large soft loops.
Residue from dust, glue or tape on the cable must be removed after use. The cable can easily be cleaned using organic oil
(i.e. olive oil) or distilled water. Do not bend the cable or rub it harshly since this may stress the strands of the cable and
cause them to break over time.
