Care of Your Microphone

Here are a few tips for care of your Pulsar microphone:

<Never subject the Pulsar to physical shock.

<Always use a stand—and always use the included hard mount when securing to a stand.

<Always wipe the Pulsar exterior down with a soft dry cloth and return it to its case after each use to prevent damage from dust.

<In the event that your Pulsar needs more extensive cleaning, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water or mild household soap and clean the metal exterior, wiping it completely dry when finished. Never spray a cleaning agent on the microphone itself, as the moisture can damage the unit.

<Avoid subjecting the Pulsar to any kind of moisture. In vocal applications, use a windscreen to protect the diaphragm from breath condensation and saliva build-up.

<Never disassemble the Pulsar microphone. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

<Always use top-quality cables in order to avoid electrical problems that may damage the microphones electronics.

<Avoid temperature extremes above 95°F and below 50°F. In order to avoid harmful moisture condensation on the diaphragm, allow the microphone to acclimate to room temperature before connection when moving the microphone between outdoor and indoor environments.
