IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.Read these instructions.

2.Keep these instructions.

3.Heed all warnings.

4.Follow all instructions.

5.Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.Clean only with a dry cloth.

7.Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus.

11.Note for UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows:

a)The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ colored green or colored green and yellow.

b)The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black.

c)The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red.

12.Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.

13.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When

a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

14.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

15.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

16.Never break off the ground pin. Write for our free booklet “Shock Hazard and Grounding.” Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

17.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

18.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

Duration Per Day In Hours

Sound Level dBA, Slow Response

8

90

6

92

4

95

3

97

2

100

1 12

102

1

105

12

110

14 or less

115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

CM2208, CM2204 specifications

Peavey, a name synonymous with quality in the audio equipment world, has made significant strides in the realm of professional microphones with its CM2204 and CM2208 models. These microphones have become fixtures in live sound, broadcasting, and studio environments, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.

The CM2204 is characterized by its dynamic design, making it an ideal choice for capturing high-SPL (Sound Pressure Level) sources without undesirable distortion. This microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern, which effectively isolates the sound source while minimizing background noise and feedback. The CM2204's rugged construction is built to withstand the rigors of live performances, ensuring that it remains functional in various settings.

On the other hand, the CM2208 is a condenser microphone that brings a different set of features to the table. It is designed to provide a broader frequency response, capturing subtle nuances of vocals and instruments with remarkable clarity. The CM2208 also employs a cardioid polar pattern, making it suitable for both studio applications and live situations where feedback rejection is paramount. Its low self-noise and high sensitivity allow for detailed sound capture, making it an excellent choice for more delicate sound sources.

Both models are equipped with Peavey's proprietary technologies, which include advanced shock-mounting systems. This technology helps to minimize handling noise and vibrations, allowing for clean and professional recordings. Additional features such as high-frequency boost switches and low-frequency roll-off options on the CM2208 offer further versatility, allowing users to tailor the microphone’s response to specific applications.

Another notable characteristic shared by both microphones is their compatibility with various equipment types. They work seamlessly with a range of mixers and amplifiers, making them versatile tools for any audio engineer. Moreover, the CM2204 and CM2208 are designed to operate across a wide frequency range, ensuring they can handle a variety of sound sources, from powerful rock vocals to subtle acoustic instruments.

In conclusion, the Peavey CM2204 and CM2208 microphones are exemplary products that cater to the needs of modern audio professionals. With their robust design, innovative technologies, and outstanding sound quality, these microphones continue to be reliable choices for anyone seeking exceptional performance in diverse audio environments. Whether in the studio or on stage, Peavey's commitment to quality is evident in these dynamic and condenser microphones, making them valuable assets in any sound setup.
