Brauner Microphones Phanthera (V) - Manual (Page 3)

GEttInG StaRtED
Always mount the microphone on a stable tri-
pod that can handle the weight of the micro-
phone.
Microphone Suspension
Usually you should leave the microphone in its
suspension as it can be stored safely in its case
this way. If you have to take it out, pay attention
to the 3rd picture on this page. Hold the micro-
phone safely with both hands and, pressing
against the inner suspension cradle with your
thumbs, remove it from the suspension in a
slightly rotating move.
The rubber rings may leave little traces on the
body of the microphone, which can easily be
removed with a soft cloth.
To quickly tighten and loosen the suspension
and change the vertical angle of the micro-
phone, use the wingnut on the suspension‘s
back (fig. 2). If you pull up the lever in its center
axis, you can easily readjust its position without
loosen or tighten its strength. This is practical in
case you want to guide the cable behind the le-
ver and use it to lock the cable or to enable the
lever to be turned, when it is too close to the
suspension and otherwise could not be moved
any further.
If you guide the cable behind the lever and se-
cure it as mentioned, it will keep the cable from
slipping away or hanging down. This will also ensure a better acoustical decoupling of the ca-
ble and can secure the microphone from falling
down if done properly.
V-Versions: Patterns & 10dB-Pad
There are two switches on the front side of
Phantom V and Phanthera V. The left one turns
on a 10dB-pad which comes in useful handling
very high sound pressure levels. The right one
allowes you to choose one of the three possible
patterns: Omni, Cardioid and Figure of Eight.
