1 Welcome! Safety First 2
Welcome to the world of Angry Audio,
home of the audio Gadgets and Gizmos.
The future we were all promised has, at least as of this writing, failed to
manifest itself. There are no ying cars. Jetpacks never took o (see what we
did there?). And tragically, we have no robotic housekeepers in mid-century
maid outts picking up after us and cracking wise in a Brooklyn accent.
The audio world, on the other hand, has advanced quickly, as one look at
a modern broadcast studio will reveal. Technology has opened up creative
possibilities that would have been impossible just a few years ago. What hasn’t
changed is the importance of getting the basics right and sweating the details.
A good studio is built by including components that make it a convenient and
enjoyable place to create the content that dazzles your listeners, drives trac
to your advertisers, and lets you hang onto your ski boat for another summer.
Accordingly, every audio Gadget and Gizmo – including this Mic Drop Gizmo
– is designed to solve common yet critical problems, and is meticulously
engineered with performance and longevity in mind to deliver pristine audio
and reliable performance for many years.
Our promise and guarantee.
In a recent survey, ten out of three people loved their Mic Drop Gizmo and we
think you will too. That’s why we give you 30 days to bond with your Gizmo. If
you nd you have irreconcilable dierences, we’ll buy it back.
Every Angry Audio Gadget and Gizmo is warrantied to be free from defects in
parts and workmanship for two full years after you purchase it. If it 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
+1 615-763-3033, or reach us online at at www.angryaudio.com/contact.
Making a good rst impression.
When you unbox your Mic Drop Gizmo, we hope it makes a good rst
impression and you take a moment to appreciate the lengths we’ve gone
to in order to create a “built for broadcast” product. All of our products are
over-engineered to provide long-term reliability and guaranteed RFI immunity.
Some of this is apparent – such as the durable powder-coated steel enclosure
- but much of this goodness is invisible, like the premium components within.
Even if you can’t see it, you’ll hear it!
A word or two about safety.
The Mic Drop Gizmo is a relatively low-risk product to make, install, and use in
terms of liability. There aren’t many places things can go horribly awry safety-
wise.
Then again, we thought the same thing when we introduced the TubToaster,
an appliance that should have saved buyers lots of time in the morning by
allowing them to simultaneously shower and make a light breakfast. Instead –
how can we put this delicately? – it quickly eroded any future customer base
and denied a lot of people the simple pleasure of perfectly toasted rye bread.
Along with a promise to mothball our gas-powered upright vacuum (it seemed
the logical progression of the cordless concept to us) we agreed to talk about
safety, so here goes.
The Mic Drop Gizmo is intended to be installed and used by qualied
personnel only. To avoid electric shock, do not disassemble the unit or
attempt to perform any servicing unless you are qualied to do so.
While the Mic Drop Gizmo does not have its own power supply, it may receive
DC voltage from the console to which it is wired, and hazardous voltages may
be present on external components.
Do not expose your Gizmo or its power supply to rain or moisture. Coee is
bad for it, Diet Coke is worse, and bourbon is denitely a no-no.
Any electronic device can fail without warning; do not use this product in
applications where a life threatening condition could result due to failure.
