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

GENERAL NOTES
CONNECTIONS
MONO REFERENCE GOLD & REFERENCE CARDIOID MODELS - connect
6-pin cable (supplied with mic) between PSU and mic. Audio comes from
separate 3 pin XLR on the PSU.
STEREO REFERENCE GOLD MODEL - 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
to the power supply, and you’re ready to record.
If possible, use a short cable and a high quality microphone preamplifier (with
the phantom power turned off) located near the mic. This is usually 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 cannot 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 any of the connections at the base of the microphone become loose over time,
they can be easily tightened with a 1/16” allen key.
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
MΩ and 200 MΩ ) resistors in the circuit. If liquid enters the unit, it must be
immediately returned to your dealer for servicing.
SERVICING
The user should not attempt to service this unit beyond that described in the
owner’s manual. Refer all servicing to Manley Laboratories.
WARNING!
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
