• Having ensured that the power supply is set to the
correct voltage you can begin to connect the K2
to the power supply. Do not connect the power to
the mains before connecting the microphone.
• Connect the male 7-pin plug of the K2 cable to the
7-pin input socket on the rear of the power supply.
• Connect the female 7-pin plug of the K2 cable
to the microphone. Ensure that both plugs are
correctly aligned and pushed fi rmly into their
respective sockets.
• Now connect an XLR microphone cable to the
output socket on the rear of the power supply,
taking that output to your mixer/pre-amplifi er.
• We suggest the use of a high quality cable,
preferably with gold plated contacts. Use as short
a cable as possible, as long cables can adversely
affect sound quality.
• Ensure that the K2 is fi xed securely using the
supplied SM2 shock mount to a stable microphone
stand. The K2 condenser microphone is a precision
instrument and should be treated with care.
• Now you can connect the power supply to the
mains supply and begin using the K2 microphone.
It is recommended to allow a minute or two to
allow the microphone to stabilise.
