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.).

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, wipe the microphone down with a soft cloth.

Caution:

Never dismount the screen holding the capsule, as this can damage the microphone! Never try to modify the printed circuit board inside your C‑1U! This can lead to microphone damage that cannot be repaired. Any such attempt will void the warranty.

In exceptional cases, external interference (e.g. contact and electrostatic discharge) may affect the functioning of the unit and result in audio or functional impairment. In any such case, please disconnect the unit briefly from the USB port and restart the application to return to normal operation.
