STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE B-5

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Detailed safety precautions:

Please read all safety precautions and operating instructions before attempting to operate the unit. Keep all safety precautions and operating instructions for future reference.

Water and moisture:

Condenser microphones are extremely moisture-sensitive. Never use your microphone in close proximity to water (e.g. bath tubs, wash basins, sinks, washing machines, pools, etc.). When doing voice recordings, always use the enclosed popscreen to safely protect the capsule from moisture.

Power supply:

Always use the power supply specified in the operating instructions.

Damage:

Take care not to drop your microphone as this can lead to severe damage. BEHRINGER assumes no liability for any damage caused by the user.

Service and care:

After each use, remove the microphone from its mount and wipe it down with a soft cloth and place it back into its protective casing (included with the microphone). Then, lay the small bag containing the moisture-absorbing cristals on top of the microphone head.

2. POWER SUPPLY

Phantom power (+48 V) is required to operate your microphone. We assume no liability for damage caused to your B-5 through deffective phantom power. Before activating phantom power, mute your playback system and connect the B-5 to the microphone input of your mixing console. After activating phantom power, the B-5 requires several seconds to stabilize itself.

3. PICKUP PATTERNS

Your B-5 was delivered with two capsules allowing different pickup patterns: cardioid ( ) and omnidirectional ( ).
