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.
