Studio Projects CS5 - Manual (Page 5)

CS5
The Studio Projects CS5 is an externally polarized five pattern pressure
gradient transducer microphone with FET impedance converter. Diaphragm
material is 6µm Mylar. It features four selectable pads, four high pass filters
and four low pass filters, along with five directional pattern settings: Figure of
eight, hypercardioid, cardioid, wide cardioid and omnidirectional. The output
circuitry is active and is capable of driving long cable runs. The CS5 is useful
for all manner of recording work and music styles.

STATEMENT OF ROHS COMPLIANCE
PMI Audio Group manufactures complete electronic products which are cov-
ered by the European Union’s “Removal of Hazardous Substances” directive
2002/95/EC (RoHS). This directive seeks to eliminate toxic substances from
the manufacturing process, such that when equipment is disposed of at the
end of its life cycle, the materials it contains do not contaminate the environ-
ment and pose health risks. Banned substances are lead, mercury, cadmium,
hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated
diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Lead is used together with tin in solder connections to
reduce the melting point of solder. Lead-free solder requires higher soldering
temperatures which in turn places greater thermal stress on components.
PMI Audio Group takes seriously its obligations under the RoHS directive and insists that its
factories use only components that are certified RoHS compliant, as well as leadfree solder. In a
very few cases the necessary components may not yet be available to the world market but we
work continuously to eliminate any such exceptions at the earliest opportunity. Our printed Circuit
Boards (PCB’s) and all soldered joints have been lead-free since 2005.
STATEMENT OF WEEE POLICY
PMI Audio Group manufactures many complete electronic products which are covered
by the European Union’s “Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment” directive 2002/96/EC
(WEEE). This directive seeks to ensure that waste electric and electronic equipment is
disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner, at the end of its life cycle. PMI
Audio Group takes seriously its obligations under this directive to take back WEEE-af-
fected products and, from 13th August 2005, will mark all such products with the crossed-out
wheeled bin symbol.
Business to Business products: PMI Audio Group will cost-neutrally take back WEEE-affected electric and
electronic equipment in this category, from 1st January 2006. PMI Audio Group will work with disposal and
recycling partners working within the EU. The waste electric and electronic equipment can then be turned over
to a disposal and recycling companies in the countries concerned.
Business to Customer products: emerging electric and electronic equipment will be disposed of by local authori-
ties’ collection systems.
Dual Use products: this equipment will be disposed of by local authorities’ collection systems.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALI-
FIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the ap-
pliance.
WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPARATUS TO WATER, RAIN OR MOISTURE.
