1 Welcome! Safety First 2
Welcome to the world of Angry Audio,
home of the audio gadgets.
A quick peek at the growing catalog of Angry Audio products reveals a
pretty diverse array of Gizmos and Gadgets, but they all have a few things in
common.
For starters, each one was created to solve a unique but common challenge in
the studio one of those niggling annoyances that crop up over and over again
but don’t seem to have a really solid solution. Plus, each Gizmo and Gadget
is engineered and manufactured to impeccably high standards and follows
our philosophy that great sounding audio is made by paying careful attention
throughout the signal path.
Our promise and guarantee.
We love the Mic Tally Gadget and we think you will too. But we’re also realists and
understand you thought you’d love the Pajama Jeans, Flowbee, and Neckline
Slimmer you ordered on night four of your battle with insomnia. That’s why we’ll
buy back your Gadget if you change your mind within 30 days.
Plus, every Gizmo and Gadget is warrantied to be free from defects in parts and
workmanship for two full years after you purchase it. If a Gizmo or Gadget fails
within this time period, Angry Audio, at its discretion, will repair or replace it so
long as you let us know of the failure within the warranty period and can provide
proof of purchase in the form of a dated sales receipt.
You can call us at [phone] or reach out to us online via our website at

Making a good rst impression.
When you unbox your Mic Tally Gadget, we really hope it makes a good first
impression and that you take a moment to appreciate the lengths we’ve gone to in
order to create a “built for broadcast” product. Behold the durable powder coated
steel enclosure (oooooh) and the premium components within (aaaahhh ), and
sleep easy knowing that all of our products are over engineered to provide long
term reliability and guaranteed RFI immunity. Even if you can’t see it, you’ll hear it!
A word or two about safety.
This section used to be eight pages long back in the day when we made the
Angry Lint Fired Clothes Dryer, the Angry Open Door Microwave Oven, the Angry
Gasoline Powered Toaster, the Angry Balsa Wood Ladder, and famously, the
Angry NoGuard ™Deli Meat Slicer.
And while we’ve since moved on to building audio products, which are
comparatively benign, there are still some things to keep in mind for your safety.
Mic Tally Gadgets are intended to be used by qualified personnel only. To avoid
electric shock, do not open the unit or attempt to perform any servicing unless
you are qualified to do so.
Mic Tally Gadgets have internal 115VAC or 230VAC power supplies. Hazardous
voltages are present whenever the unit is plugged in and may still be present on
certain components even when the unit is unplugged.
The power cord is the primary disconnect device and so the outlet providing
power to the Gadget should be easily accessible. In other words, make sure you
can back out of making bad electrical decisions by yanking the plug.
Use only a properly grounded outlet for power. Do not cut the ground pin or use
a ground lifting adapter, and do not defeat the polarized plug. Do not overload
outlets. We’re looking at you Clark Griswold.
