1) Prior to connecting the Remote Control Unit to power, check what power
voltage is available where you are going to use the microphone.
2) Set the power voltage selector (G) on the rear panel to the correct position
as shown in Table below.
3) Referring to Table below, use the correct power cord to connect the Remote
Control Unit to a grounded power outlet.
Power voltage
210 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
110 to 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz
When on tour, you may encounter power outlets that do not match the power plug
on any of the supplied power cords.
 Purchase a suitable power cord locally that complies with IEC and local safety
standards and has a power plug with a chassis ground pin.
 To avoid damage or electric shock, connect the Remote Control Unit to a
grounded power outlet only.
 If in doubt about the power connection, consult a local electrician.

Set the power switch on the Remote Control Unit rear panel to "I".
After about ten seconds, the heating voltage will have reached the specified
level and the front panel POWER LED will be lit. About twenty seconds later,
the microphone will be ready to operate.
You may not get the full splendor of the tube sound before the electrodes have
reached the required operating temperature. Therefore, we recommend powering
up at least five minutes before starting to record. This will allow the tube inside the
microphone to heat up properly.
1) Set the power switch on the Remote Control Unit rear panel to "0".
The front panel POWER LED will go out.
2) Wait for five minutes to allow the tube to cool down to room temperature
before moving the microphone. A hot tube will be more susceptible to
mechanical damage than a cold one.
