Manley REFERENCE MICROPHONES - 1992 - 2010 - Manual (Page 6)

CONNECTIONS
GOLD MODELS - carefully connect the 4 pin power cables to the mic and power supply. Line up
the groove and ridge of these connectors to prevent accidental damage. Next connect a known good
mic cable. We designed this mic to allow the user their choice of high quality cable.
CARDIOID MODELS - connect 6 pins cable (supllied with mic) between PSU and mic. Audio
comes from separate 3 pin XLR on the PSU.
If possible use a short cable and a high quality micpreamplifier ( with the phantom power turned
off ) located near the mic. This, usually, is the best for audio quality. Try to avoid running the mic
signal thru a patch bay or extra connectors and wires. Attach the Mic securely to a good mic stand
and and lay the cables so that people can not trip over the cable or topple the stand. Connect the
power supply to the wall outlet and turn on the supply. Let the mic warm up for at least 5 minutes
before using.
If the 4 pin power or XLR connectors become loose over time, they can be easily tightened with
a 1/16" allen key at the base of the mic.
WATER & MOISTURE
As with any electrical equipment, this unit should not be used near water or moisture. In rare
situations moisture from breath may temporarily cause loss of output from condenser mics. Do not
use a blower or heat to accelerate drying. Extreme humidity may comprimise the performance of
some high value ( 500 M
Ω
and 200 M
Ω
) resistors in the circuit. If liquid enters the unit, it must
be immediately returned to your dealer for servicing.
