Detailed safety precautions:
Please read all safety precautions and operating instructions before
attempting to operate the unit. Keep all safety precautions and operat-

Water and moisture:
Condenser microphones are extremely moisture-sensitive. Never use
your microphone in close proximity to water (e.g. bath tubs, wash
basins, sinks, washing machines, pools, etc.).

Always use the power supply specied in the operating instructions.
Damage:
Take care not to drop your microphone as this can lead to severe

After each use, wipe the microphone down with a soft cloth.
Caution:
Never dismount the screen holding the capsule, as this can damage
the microphone! Never try to modify the printed circuit board inside your
C-1U! This can lead to microphone damage that cannot be repaired.
Any such attempt will void the warranty.
In exceptional cases, external interference (e.g. contact and electro-
static discharge) may affect the functioning of the unit and result in
audio or functional impairment. In any such case, please disconnect
the unit briey from the USB port and restart the application to return
to normal operation.
The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broad-
casting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance
between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for
all connections.
