User manual M-AUDIO LUNA

[. . . ] Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Luna microphone from M-Audio. Please take a few moments to read the following guide into order to get the maximum results from your microphone. Important: Please fill out and mail your warranty card for the Luna immediately so that we may provide you with support for your microphone (you may also register online at www. m-audio. com/register). · Always use top-quality cables in order to avoid shorts that may damage the microphones electronics. · Avoid temperature extremes above 95°F and below 50°F. When moving the microphone between outdoor and indoor environments, allow the microphone to acclimate to room temperature before connection and use, in order to avoid condensation on the diaphragm. Connections and Phantom Power The M-Audio Luna microphone outputs a balanced, low impedance signal. [. . . ] · Always use the included shock mount when securing to a stand. · Always, wipe the Luna exterior down with a soft dry cloth and return the Luna to its case after each use to prevent damage from dust and shock. · In the event that your Luna needs more extensive cleaning, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water or mild household soap and clean the metal exterior of the Luna, wiping it completely dry when finished. Never spray a cleaning agent on the microphone itself, as the moisture can damage the unit. In vocal applications, moisture from breath condensation /saliva build-up can be prevented by use of a windscreen. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Applications The Luna's clean-sounding technology is combined with an all-brass capsule to produce a smooth bottom and vintage tone that's perfect for capturing and enhancing great vocals. The Luna is also great for most other instruments and applications--including amplified guitar or bass. Cardioid Pattern Cardioid is the most universal polar pattern found in microphones. In cardioids, the back of the microphone rejects sound, allowing the engineer to isolate the signal source from other performance elements or background noise.
