YOUR PURCHASE INCLUDES
1 P30/C Microphone
1 PW1 Foam Windscreen
1 Microphone Bag
GETTING STARTED
Before setting up the microphone, pull back all existing settings and EQ. By
doing this, you will have a baseline understanding of how our microphones
sound, and will then be able to adjust accordingly.
Begin by removing all included components from the packaging. Make sure to
mute any incoming signal to speakers or headphones to avoid any loud “pops”
when connecting.
Connect the microphone to an audio interface supplying 24-48V phantom power
using a standard XLR cable. Please allow one minute for the microphone to
settle.
PROPER MAINTENANCE
To guarantee your microphone provides years of performance, follow these guidelines:
- Avoid touching the front protective screen.
- Never attempt to disassemble the microphone.
- Avoid extreme heat and condensing humidity. Allow the microphone to warm up when bringing it in from the cold.
- Rough handling may damage the microphone even if no markings are visible.
- When not in use, keep the microphone in its bag.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
The small tip on many of our microphones allows them to capture the highest
frequencies of your sound. Please be gentle and considerate when handling the
microphones with these tips.
(Microphones such as the SR314 and SR40V shield the tip within their capsule,
and are thus more durable.)
Please do not excessively bend the gooseneck beyond 90 degrees. Doing so on a
consistent basis will cause the wand portion to deteriorate and lose its
ability to stay in the desired position.
