Safety Information

Protect the microphone from moisture and sudden impacts. You could damage the microphone!
Do not blow into the microphone and do not knock on the microphone basket. Speak into the microphone or lightly scratch the microphone head grill to check functionality.

Applications

The TG V96 has been specially developed to mike up song and speech for superior audio quality. Using the clip included in delivery, it can be mounted on microphone stands with a 3/8" or 5/8" thread adapter.

Setting up

The TG V96 requires phantom powering of 48 V for operation. It can be plugged into any symmetrical microphone port which provides this voltage.
The TG V96 has a cardioid polar pattern and produces almost no feedback. In order to achieve maximum suppression of feedback, the microphone should be positioned in such a way that the monitor speaker is aimed at the microphone from behind (angle approx. 180˚).
The microphone grill should not be cupped with the hands, as this massively affects the directional characteristic and the quality of the transmission.
The TG V96 has an integrated pop screen. To avoid popping noises, the microphone should be positioned below the mouth at a slight angle, so that you can speak or sing just over the microphone.
The MKV 8 microphone clip for stands with a 3/8" and 5/8" thread adapter is included in delivery of the TG V96.

Maintenance

The TG V96 may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth as required. If necessary, a gentle cleaning agent (e.g. washing-up liquid) may be used – but on no account use a cleaner containing solvents. Make sure that no liquid penetrates the microphone grill.

The integrated metal pop screen should be cleaned at regular intervals:

Unscrew the microphone grill (turn anticlockwise).
Pull the wire pop screen upwards.
Clean the microphone grill and the pop screen with pure water.
Ensure that both parts are completely dry before re-attaching them.
the pop screen and the microphone grill are not dishwasher suitable.

Service

Servicing must be carried out by qualified service personnel only. Dismantling the microphone yourself will invalidate the guarantee.
