RSM-2 Ribbon Studio Microphone

USER GUIDE
Congratulations on purchasing the Nady RSM-2 Ribbon Studio Microphone. This superior neoclassic microphone is designed for use in contemporary, state-of-the-art studios, yet offers the unique natural sound previously only available on such classic large ribbon mics as the legendary RCA 44, which is still used to make great recordings today after almost 70 years. Perfect for recording studio vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras and choral groups, ambient instrument audio, and many live sound applications. Powerful and versatile, and with the unmatched natural sound of classis ribbon mics, the RSM-2 meets the stringent requirements of even the most demanding digital recording and live broadcasting applications. This manual covers the operation of the RSM-2 microphone and the available optional accessories. To take full advantage of the superb features of your microphone, and to enjoy long and troublefree use, please read this user�s guide carefully. As ribbon microphones are, by their design, very sensitive to damage from mishandling and use, it is very important to read and observe the precautions below about proper use.

UNPACKING, INSPECTION, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Your RSM-2 microphone was carefully packed at the factory, and the shipping carton (and soft carrying case) was designed to protect the unit during shipping. Please retain this container for subsequent transport and in the highly unlikely event that you ever need to return your microphone for servicing. Please note: since the ribbon assembly of the RSM-2, as with all ribbon microphones, is extremely fragile, you must verify immediately upon receipt of your microphone that it has not been damaged during shipment and is operating correctly. The warranty on this microphone does not extend beyond an initial inspection, since these microphones can be so easy damaged during handling and use. If the unit arrived damaged please return it immediately to where you bought it. Units that are damaged in use can be returned to Nady Systems and the ribbon assembly replaced for a fixed charge (see Service section below).
