[. . . ] Plug the included seven pin cable into the microphone and the power supply. The output of the microphone is at the 3 pin XLR connector on the power supply. Use a standard balanced 3 pin XLR cable to connect the microphone output to the input of your mixer or recorder. Plug the power supply into your AC mains supply. [. . . ] However, to insure continued operation within factory specs, it is recommended that you purchase replacement tubes from CAD. Contact the CAD Customer Service Department at 1-888-702-7075. To gain access to the tube, first disconnect the microphone from its power supply. Remove the microphone from the shock mount by unscrewing the two knurled knobs on either side of the microphone head. Then unscrew the single knurled knob on the back of the mic near the XLR connector. Remove the switch bezel by removing the screws on the sides of the bezel. Remove the mic housing by unscrewing the two screws on the end of the mic near the XLR connector. Carefully slide the housing off, making sure the housing clears the small toggle switches. Remove the tube through the opening in the microphone chassis. Make sure that the replacement tube is seated firmly in the socket. Replace the body by sliding it over the chassis, being careful to clear the toggle switches. Center the body over the XLR connector at the end of the chassis. Replace the screws in the end of the housing. Replace the switch bezel and the switch bezel screws. Note: If the screws in the switch bezel do not align properly, the body may not be fully seated. Loosen the screws on the body and realign it first. Replace the microphone in the shock mount. High-Pass On Flat Response Pad Off (0 dB) For most applications, the pad switch should be left in the 0dB position, and the Hi-Pass switch should be in the flat position. When miking loud sources such as drums and amplified instruments, the pad switch may be needed. If audible clipping occurs, first try adjusting the input pad or trim control on your mixer. If this has no effect, then engage either the -8 dB or -16 dB pad on the microphone. [. . . ] Signal-To-Noise Ratio: 79 dB (At 94 dB SPL).
