proper care and handling it will provide years of enjoyable and reliable perfor-
mance. Follow each point below to ensure a your microphone remains in good
condition.
• Handle the VR88 carefully and avoid dropping the microphone.
• Always store the VR88 in its case. It’s a good idea to keep the case upright
so that the microphone is at a ninety-degree angle with the floor or storage
shelves.
• Be mindful of, and protect the microphone’s ribbon element from direct
blasts of air.
• Whenever possible, use a pop filter on vocals and other plosive sounds to
avoid excessive blasting on the ribbon element.
• Be sure to lower the mixer’s channel and master faders when connecting or
disconnecting the microphone, and when switching the phantom power sup-
ply on and off.
• Be sure to use good working, high quality cables.
• Keep the microphone clean and free from contact with any foreign particles.
• Don’t use the VR88 in close proximity of an AC motor.
• While traveling on an aircraft, never transport the VR88 in a nonpressurized
luggage compartment. If possible, hand carry it on to the plane.
