User manual AKG C 12 VR

[. . . ] This microphone has been recreated to meet the demand for the "tube sound" with the design approach of today using modern componentry around the "heart" of the microphone ­ the original, specially selected 6072 tube. It should be stressed at this point, that vacuum tubes with their heater filaments are much more delicate than solid-state components. Consequently, the user has to take great care in handling the microphone. [. . . ] The clamp of the shockmount should be guided from the lower end of the microphone upwards until it is placed near the gravitational centre (slightly below the engraving). The shockmount can now be placed with the microphone on stands or booms with thread sizes of 3/8 or 5/8 inch. It may also be swivelled against the stand axis to suit the recording angle. powering of the microphone: The required power unit N 12 VR is included in the delivery. It is clearly marked and quite obvious by connector type and size, how to connect the microphone to the power unit with the 10 m (30 ft. The audio frequency may be taken from the power unit transformer balanced by a conventional audio cable with standard XLR-type connector. Prior to connecting the N 12 VR to AC power, check the AC voltage of the power line you are going to connect the N 12 VR to. Check that the N 12 VR AC voitage selector to the right of the power switch on the front panel is set to the same AC voltage. If it is not, use a flat-blade screwdriver to set the AC voltage selector to the correct voltage. Warning: Connecting the N 12 VR to the wrong AC voltage may destroy the unit and cause fire and/or electric shock. The fuse protecting the primary circuit is located in the marked fuse compartment below the power connector. Replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same type (T 100 mA) and close the fuse compartment lid. the 50-mA , fast-blow fuse protecting the anode circuit is located on the circuit board inside the unit. Especially on tour, you may need to connect the unit to a power outlet that does not match the power connector on the supplied power cable. [. . . ] The book is published by "Arsis Baedeker und Land Verlags GmbH" and available at your local music shop. Both studio and "onstage" applications are discussed in detail.
