A hand-wound, nickel-core MANLEY IRON® output transformer provides a balanced signal with minimal distortion. The custom switch-mode supply operates well above the audible range, for a cleaner, quieter signal path with no 50\/60 Hz chassis ripple, and accepts any mains voltage from 90 V to 250 V AC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eMANLEY Reference Silver microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eOutboard switch-mode power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eMANLEY Reference Silver: frequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;margin:18px 0 6px;\"\u003eWhat is the Reference Silver mainly used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eIt is a versatile studio microphone with a warm, rich tone: a go-to for female vocals, saxophones and brass, and an exceptional choice for drum overheads, acoustic guitars and banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;margin:18px 0 6px;\"\u003eHow do I change the polar pattern?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe pattern is switched mechanically between cardioid and omni via the adjustable vent on the backplate of the capsule, using the selector on the head basket assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;margin:18px 0 6px;\"\u003eWhich tube does it use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA mic-grade 5670 vacuum tube in the head amplifier, working with a FET constant current source for low noise and stable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;margin:18px 0 6px;\"\u003eCan it handle loud sources?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eYes.
