The manual is complete with excellent quality! One suggestion, show number of pages and weather it is multi-lingual. The AD 600 Manuel is about 76 pages and over half is non English. This results in a larger print job than usually needed. Having this information, one could select the desired pages for printing.
This is an excellent handbook. We had no information on the appliance until we obtained this and are now able to use the appliance to its full potential. Strongly recommended.
Very happy to find this from owners-manual.com and the enclosed spec sheet as well.

Positioning the microphone
Kick drums
Position Resulting sound Much resonance, much attack Less attack: Turn the microphone away from where the beater strikes. The 901 is used for picking up the attack, the 902 for picking up the fundamental. Commentary Position the microphone at the bottom of the kick drum, approx. 10�20 cm from the batter head. Combined with an 902 positioned at the resonant head. The lower microphone must be phase-reversed to avoid phasecancellation effects due to the second microphone being on the other side of the drumskin.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 180°; see polar diagram).
