Beyerdynamic TG V90 - Ribbon Microphone Manual

Please take some time to read carefully through this information before using the product.

Safety Information

• Protect the microphone from moisture and sudden impacts. You could damage the microphone! Ribbon microphones are deserving of just as much care and attention as high-quality musical instruments.
• 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 V90 has been developed to mike up song. It produces a very natural, unobtrusive sound with silky treble thanks to its ribbon transducer. The cardioid polar pattern, unusual in ribbon microphones, ensures that it is easy to operate and has high feedback suppression when used live on stage.

Using the clip included in delivery, the TG V90 can be mounted on microphone stands with a 3/8" or 5/8" thread adapter.

Connection

The TG V90 is equipped with a 3-pin XLR-plug. The microphone can be connected to any balanced microphone input. Suitable cables for this can be found under "Optional Accessories". Use of phantom powering does not damage the microphone, but it should not be plugged or unplugged to a live supply.

Setting up

• The TG V90 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 V90 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 V90.

Maintenance

The TG V90 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.

Service

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