Chameleon Labs Model TS-1 MKII Tube Condenser Microphone Owner’s Manual 704 228th Avenue NE, # 826 Sammamish, WA 98074 206-264-7602 www.chameleonlabs.
The TS-1 MKII is a small diaphragm, tube, condenser microphone of exceptional sonic clarity and rugged construction. When used in accordance with the guidelines in this manual it will give you many years of outstanding performance. Because the TS-1 MKII uses vacuum tube circuitry it requires a separate power supply unit (included with the microphone) in order to operate, even if your mixer has phantom power. If your mixer has phantom power, it is not necessary to switch it off when using the TS-1 MKII.
If you decide to take a break from using the microphone, you can lower the STANDBY switch until you return. This will help to extend the life of the vacuum tube. Note: it is not recommended that you leave the mic in its standby mode (POWER switch up and STANDBY switch down) for periods longer than thirty minutes. When you are finished using the TS-1 MKII, switch it off and store it in its box with the supplied desiccant.
foam windscreen that fits tightly over the microphone capsule, make sure that the foam has not begun to degenerate. Wipe the foam on a white piece of paper. If you can see any traces of the foam transferring to the paper, discard the windscreen. Condenser microphones create electrostatic charges in the capsule. This attracts lint, dust, and other materials and these materials can become attached to the diaphragm. Over time, this will degrade the sound of your microphone.
