Using the Earthworks C30 - S ChoirMic Gen 2 is easy. First, connect the 30 - foot Canare Star Quad cable to your preamp or input device using the XLR3 - M output connector. Make sure your device can provide 48V phantom power at 6mA. Hang the microphone above the choir. The supercardioid polar pattern means it will focus on the front area, so position it to cover all choir members. When in use, avoid placing it near sources of RF interference, like some types of lighting or wireless devices. For maintenance, keep the microphone clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it. The included SRW3 Foam Windscreen can be removed and gently cleaned if it gets dirty. Store the microphone in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remember, it has a 2 - year warranty, but following these steps will help keep it in great shape for a long time.
