TECHNICAL SUPPORT QUESTIONS
Why is my microphone not working?
If your microphone does not produce any sound at all, then chances are you are
not using the right cable or you did not setup your audio interface
correctly. Please visit our support page to find videos on how to setup your
microphone properly and guides. If you are using a mic booster or a product
that goes in between the interface and the microphone cable, you need remove
that so it blocks 48V. This microphone already has sufficient gain so a mic
booster is not necessary. If your issue is more specific and requires further
help, please message us on live chat or email us at
[email protected].
What comes included when I buy a Stellar X2/Vintage microphone?
You will receive the microphone, an Aluminum Flight Case, a spring shockmount,
a 3/8″ to 5/8” adapter, a foam wind cover, and a leather pouch. Please view
our product pages to view further specifications.
Where is my stand adapter?
Typically it should be attached to the shockmount. To remove, use a quarter or
screw driver. We have started including it in a small bag so it is easier to
find.
WHICH MICROPHONE SHO ULD I CHOOSE?
What is the difference between the Stellar X2, the Vintage, and the X3?
The Stellar X2 is designed to be a modern microphone with little added
coloration in the high end. This produces a sound that is very clear for
deeper voice. This makes it a great fit for many voiceover artist and most
singers with a deeper voice. The Vintage is a much warmer mid ranged focused
microphone that rolls off a lot the highs. This can be good in retaining
clarity and openness without bringing up harshness. This makes it a good fit
for many musical instruments and certain voices that are more sibilant.
However, on certain voices the Vintage may be too dark or the mid boost may be
too nasally. This is where the X3 comes in. The X3 is just a pure neutral
microphone. Its rare to get a truly neutral mic at this price point and the X3
will simply pick up what is hearing. It has a very flat frequency response and
it lacks any kind of coloration. This makes it the most true to the source
microphone we offer.
