- Ne izlažite mikrofon ekstremnim temperaturama, vlazi ili direktnoj sunčevoj svjetlosti.
- Ensure proper phantom power (11-52V) is supplied by your audio interface or mixer. Incorrect voltage može oštetiti mikrofon.
- Izbjegavajte ispuštanje mikrofona ili izlaganje jakim udarcima.
- Držite mikrofon dalje od jakih magnetnih polja.
- Ne pokušavajte rastavljati ili modificirati mikrofon. To će poništiti garanciju.

Operating the MC 950
The MC 950 features a supercardioid polar pattern, which provides excellent off-axis rejection, making it highly effective for isolating sound sources in noisy environments or when multiple instruments are present.
Karakteristike:
- Low-Cut filter: The microphone includes a switchable -6dB-per-octave low-cut filter at 250Hz. This filter helps to attenuate unwanted low-frequency rumble, proximity effect, or stage noise. To activate, locate the switch on the microphone body and slide it to the "on" position.
- -15dB jastučić: For very loud sound sources, the MC 950 is equipped with a switchable -15dB pad. This pad reduces the input signal level before it reaches the microphone's internal electronics, preventing distortion. To activate, locate the switch on the microphone body and slide it to the "on" position.

Savjeti za plasman:
- For acoustic instruments like guitars, position the microphone a few inches from the soundhole or bridge for a balanced sound. Experiment with distance and angle to achieve the desired tone.
- When miking drums, the supercardioid pattern helps in isolating individual drums or cymbals, reducing bleed from other sources.
- For vocals, maintain a consistent distance from the microphone to avoid variations in level and tone.

Održavanje
- čišćenje: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the microphone body. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Skladištenje: Kada se ne koristi, mikrofon čuvajte u zaštitnoj futroli kako biste ga zaštitili od prašine, vlage i fizičkih oštećenja.
- Rukovanje: Uvijek držite mikrofon držeći ga za tijelo, a ne za kabel ili konektor.
Rješavanje problema
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Rješenje |
|---|---|---|
| Nema izlaza zvuka | No phantom power; Faulty XLR cable; Incorrect input selection on mixer/interface. | Ensure phantom power is activated (11-52V); Try a different XLR cable; Verify correct input is selected and gain is up. |
| Distorted Sound | Input signal too hot; Pad not engaged for loud sources. | Engage the -15dB pad switch; Reduce gain on your audio device; Increase distance from sound source. |
| Excessive Bass/Rumble | Proximity effect; Low-frequency noise from stage/environment. | Engage the low-cut filter switch; Increase distance from sound source; Use a shock mount. |
| Intermittent Sound | Loose cable connection; Damaged cable. | Check all cable connections; Try a different XLR cable. |
