Shutdown And Storage - Neumann.Berlin U 87 ai Mode D'emploi

6. Shutdown and storage
Before switching off the microphone or discon-
necting the cables, reduce the volume of con-
nected equipment.
Only then should the phantom power be switched
off.
Disconnect the cables.
When disconnecting a cable, always pull only on
the connector and not on the cable itself.
7. Troubleshooting
▶
Problem Possible causes
Microphone The phantom power supply voltage is not
not operating switched on at the mixing console or at the
power supply equipment.
The power supply equipment is not
connected to the power supply line or there
is no battery.
No signal The microphone is not connected to the
transmission correct microphone amplifier input of the
subsequent equipment.

Microphones which are not in use should not be
allowed to remain on the stand gathering dust.
A microphone which is unused for a prolonged pe-
riod should be stored under normal atmospheric
conditions, and should be protected from dust.
For this purpose, use a lint-free, air-permeable
dust cover or the original packaging of the micro-
phone.

Solution
Check the corresponding channel settings.
Check the connection to the power supply
line or check the battery of the power supply
equipment.
Check the signal path.
If necessary, activate the appropriate input
on the corresponding channel of the mixing
console.

The microphone has a balanced transformer out-
put. The -pin XLR connector has the following
standard pin assignments:
Pin 1: 0 V/Ground
Pin : Modulation (+phase)
Pin : Modulation (–phase)

valid for clean and well-looked-after microphones or
microphone capsules, respectively. Any kind of pollution
of capsules and membranes may restrict the said values.
