microphone cable or a broken or bent pin on a connector. The next most likely cause for a fuse
failure is operation of the power supply on a voltage source incorrect for the supply.
CARE OF YOUR MICROPHONE
Your microphone is a delicate precision instrument and it should be treated as such.
Here are some commonsense rules to keep your microphone healthy.
1. Be careful in your setup so that the microphone and/or power supply never falls to the floor.
Never suspend the microphone by its cable and be sure to position the cable so that it cannot
be tripped over. Drops to the floor have been the demise of many a microphone.
2. NEVER hot-plug the microphone (i.e. plug the microphone into an energized power supply),
as the resulting voltage surges can damage the mic’s or following preamplifier's electronics.
3. Keep the microphone, cable and power supply in a safe place, such as its carrying case or a
microphone locker, when not in use.
4. When plugging in the seven-pin cable between the microphone and power supply, orient the
plug correctly and plug the connectors in gently. Rough handling or hurry-up plug-ins can
result in bent pins.
5. Never connect the power supply to an AC power outlet that has different voltage than what
the power supply is set up for.
6. Do not expose the microphone to dusty, smoky or humid environments.
7. Do not attempt repairs unless you are a qualified technician. There are no user serviceable
parts in the MA-100.
8. Use a soft, lint free cloth to remove fingerprints and other blemishes on the microphone body.
Never use chemicals, solvents or detergents.
