Rode Classic II [13/16] Storage

- 13 -

.• Placement of the microphone and pop shield

relative to the vocalist may be varied on several

factors including room acoustics, the vocal

performance, and whether the vocalist has a high

or deep voice.

• Experimentation should be made with the angle

from which the microphone is addressed, as

different results can be achieved when the vocalist

is ‘off-axis’ to the microphone (and the gold dot).

• If an earth loop is present (a mains frequency hum)

there is a ground lift switch on the rear panel of

the power supply, which should be raised to the

‘lift’ position. This earth loop can appear when two

devices which are both earthed are connected

together.

Using the Classic II

.• After use the Classic II should be removed from its

mount, wiped with a dry, soft cloth and placed in its

protective case.

• Be sure to place the moisture-absorbent crystals

(supplied) at the head of the microphone, so as to

absorb any moisture present.

• Eventually this pack of crystals will need to be

dried. This is indicated by the crystals turning pink

in colour. They can easily be re-used by placing

them in an oven at 100 - 150 degrees celsius

for approximately ten minutes. The crystals will

operate effectively again once they have turned

blue.
