[. . . ] Always protect your TRM-6 from any hard knocks, such as from dropping the mic, or not properly padding in shipment, as such jolts can destroy the ribbon assembly. Prevent any sudden or strong blasts of air movement from ever reaching your microphone, as they can tear and destroy the fragile ribbon. When using, always utilize a pop filter, such as the optional Nady MPF Series, to prevent any percussive sounds from damaging the ribbon. Such filters also prevent damage from moisture from mouth spray. Never intentionally or accidentally apply any phantom power from your mixer or a phantom power supply to your TRM-6 as it can burn up the ribbon. Please always check carefully before connecting your ribbon mic that there is no phantom power being provided to the TRM-6. When not in use, always keep the microphone in the padded aluminum case provided. Also, always store the mic in a vertical position because, over time, the 2" long ribbons can sag, gradually degrading performance if the mic is stored on its side. Note: damaged ribbons are not covered by warranty and there will be a charge to replace the element. OPERATION The TRM-6 must be powered by the supplied TMPS-6 power supply and amplified by a microphone pre-amp (such as built into a mixer, or a standalone unit).
