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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter issues while using your Earthworks Audio microphone, please make sure that:

• Your microphone is connected to an active power supply.
• Phantom power is being supplied to the microphone.
• Your microphone and XLR cable are well connected.
• The microphone is positioned at an appropriate distance from the sound source.
• External noise in your recording environment is kept to a minimum.
• Your recording space is at room temperature and free of dust.
