User manual CAD AUDIO VX2

[. . . ] The tube circuit has been optimized for flat phase response and has a bandwidth that extends beyond 100KHz. This results in audibly superior transparency. The Optema capsule in the VX2 is produced in our capsule facility in Conneaut, Ohio. This new capsule is extremely large with an actual diaphragm diameter of 1 1/4". [. . . ] To gain access to the tubes, 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. To make it easier to remove the housing, place the small toggle switches in the high-pass, and -8 dB pad position. 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. The tube positions are marked on the printed circuit board near each tube socket. Make sure that the tubes are seated firmly in each socket. Replace the body by sliding it over the chassis, being careful to clear the small toggle switches. Center the body over the XLR connector at the end of the chassis. The XLR connector should the hole at the end of the body part way. 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. ZM-2 Shock Mount The ZM-2 shock mount is an integral part of the VX2 microphone and only needs to be removed to service the microphone or to exchange the capsule/screen assembly with a different type. To remove the shock mount, unscrew the two knurled knobs on either side of the microphone head first, then unscrew the knurled knob in the back of the microphone. To replace the shock mount, install the knurled knob in the back of the microphone FIRST. Then install the knurled knobs on the sides of the microphone head.
