Using The Microphone - Oktava MK-012 Mode D'emploi

6
The MK-012 is a multi-capsule condenser microphone intended
for use in sound recording, broadcasting and sound reinforce-
ment.

Using the Microphone

The microphone must be plugged into a source capable of pro-
viding 48V phantom power from a balanced input with resis-
tance of not less than 1 k via 3 pin to 3 pin XLR cable, wired in
accordance with the current EU or international safety standard.
Most professional and semi professional equipment will con-
form to these requirements.
In order to get the best from your Oktava microphone we rec-
ommend observing the following guidelines:
Do not use the microphone in conjunction with jack /
mini jack inputs unless going through a dedicated bal-
anced input pre amplifier first.
Protect your Microphone from humidity and moisture
as these can irreversibly damage the precision engi-
neered capsule of the microphone.
Use a pop shield when using the Microphone for close
up vocals.
Ensure that the microphone is properly earthed before
use, this means checking that no connections are
loose I not screwed up tightly
Never plug in the microphone and turn on phantom
power until the capsule is attached.
Always use in conjunction with the best quality equip-
ment you can.
