t.bone condenser microphones and to mix two microphone signals.
Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered
to be improper and may result in personal injury or property dam-
age. No liability will be assumed for damage resulting from improper

and the device. Always store packaging material out of the
reach of babies and small children. Always dispose of pack-
aging material properly when it is not in use. Never allow chil-
dren to use the device without supervision. Keep small parts
away from children and make sure that the device does not
shed any small parts (such as knobs) that children could play
with.
Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity!
Incorrectly inserted batteries may cause fires and destroy
the device and the batteries. Observe the markings on the
batteries and on the device. Ensure that proper polarity is
observed when inserting batteries.
Possible damage due to leaking batteries!
Batteries can leak and cause permanent damage to the
device. Remove the batteries from the device if it is not go-
ing to be used for an extended period of time.
Danger of short circuit due to use of unbalanced cables!

cables with the phantom power may damage the device.
Use only balanced cables. Before switching on the phantom
power, always ensure that no
cables with unbalanced wiring are connected.

Interference with neighbouring electrical receivers due to electro-
magnetic field!
The device emits an electromagnetic field during operation.
Using the device near receiver devices (e.g. radios or TV
sets) may cause interference. If the device interferes with
neighbouring receivers during operation, increase the dis-
tance between the device and the receivers experiencing
interference.
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient condi-
tions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable
ambient conditions. Only operate the device indoors within
the ambient conditions specified in the "Technical specifi-
cations". Avoid operating it in environments with direct sun-
light, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in
environments with strong temperature fluctuations. If tem-
perature fluctuations cannot be avoided (for example after
transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the
device immediately. Never subject the device to liquids or
moisture. Never move the device to another location while it
is in operation. In environments with increased dirt levels (for
example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the de-
vice cleaned by qualified specialists at regular intervals to
prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunc-
tions.
General handling
