*Caution: As with any passive ribbon microphone, care must be taken to
ensure that the D82 is not plugged into active phantom power. Improper
or intermittant cabling combined with phantom power can permanently
damage the ribbon.

The D82 should not be used in a kick drum where the strong air blasts
might permanently stretch the ribbon. Due to the strong magnetic elds
inside a ribbon microphone, areas where ferrous dust and lings are
present should be avoided. A pop-lter is recommended for close vocal use.
