iii USER MANUAL BATMODE 2S/2S+ SYSTEM
APPLICATION NOTES
- Microphone capsules of microphone discs and tower microphones are sensitive to mechanical
strain. Do not touch the microphone capsules with fingers or objects and never use stickers or
any adhesives on its surface.
- Avoid the pollution of the microphone capsules by dust or dirt particles. This can clog the
protective grid and/or damage the microphone.
- Try not to expose the running BATmode system to electromagnetic fields. Since the
microphone is sensitive to those fields, interferences with the audio signal are possible.
- Ensure a sufficient air circulation around the BATmode. Overheating can cause data loss
and/or damage to the BATmode.
- Avoid interrupting power supply while the system is running. This can cause system failure
and/or data loss.
- Do not twist or bend wires, since this can damage them.
- Do not use tools (nipper, wrench ...) for fixation of cable connections since this can damage
the connectors and/or the wires.
- The splash-proof discs protect electronic components against rain. Nevertheless, the
microphone has to be exposed to detect incoming sound waves. Indeed, the protective grid is
a relatively good protection against rain, but long-lasting exposure to high humidity leads to
corrosion and loss of sensitivity. Consequently, avoid exposing the discs to high humidity.
- Do not expose the BATmode to any kind of humidity. Penetration of moisture can cause
damage due to corrosion and short-circuiting.
- Avoid fast temperature variations and temperature below 0°C and above 40°C.
