Brauner Microphones Valvet - Manual (Page 5)

Always mount the microphone on a stable tri-
pod that can handle the weight of the micro-
phone.
To take the microphone out of the suspension,
carefully pull it out of the inner c-shaped cradle.
To reinsert it, just let it snap back into the cradle
again. The rubber rings may leave little traces on
the body of the microphone, which can easily be
removed with a soft cloth. If there is no urgent
need we advise to always leave the microphone
in its suspension.
To quickly tighten and loosen the suspension
and change the vertical angle of the micro-
phone, use the lever on the suspension‘s back.
This lever is suspended by a spring. If you pull
up the lever in its center axis, you can easily re-
adjust its position without loosen or tighten its
strength. This is practical in case you want to
guide the cable behind the lever and use it to
lock the cable or to enable the lever to be tur-
ned, 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. Connection
Use the black 8-pin Tuchel cable to connect
the microphone to the power supply. Properly
screw and tighten the connectors after being
plugged in. Otherwise hum or crackling noises
may appear due to improper signal grounding.
If a humming sound occurs, try the ground lift
switch on the back of the power supply.
Never run the microphone without being con-
nected to earth! This is dangerous in case of an
electrical fault and absolutely not necessary.
