Maintainence

Condenser microphone shall be kept in low humidity environment for best sound

performance. Store the condenser microphones in airconditioned room or dehumidifier

to keep away form moisture. Clean air is another important factor. Keep away from

smoking environment to avoid tar residuals.

Programmable Membrane Switch

Both E309D PRO and E361 integrate a low-profile microphone base and require a

phantom power supply. Their base provides a soft touch button that can be configured

for "push-to-talk", "push-to-mute" or “toggle on-and-off” operation through the dip

switch on the bottom.

1. Push-to-talk: The microphone is normally muted. Pushing and holding the soft

touch button will turn the microphone on. As soon as the operator stops holding the soft

touch button, the microphone will return to mute.

2. Push-to-mute: The microphone is normally on. Pushing and holding the soft touch

button will mute the microphone. As soon as the operator stops holding the soft touch

button, the microphone will again turn on.

3. Toggle / Power Up ON: As soon as phantom power is applied to the base, the

microphone is on. Momentarily pressing the soft touch button will mute the

microphone. Momentarily pressing the soft touch button again will turn the microphone

on. This operation will repeat indefinitely.

4. Toggle / Power Up OFF (Muted): As soon as phantom power is applied to the base,

the microphone is muted. Momentarily pressing the soft touch button will turn the

microphone on. Momentarily pressing the soft touch button again will mute the

microphone. This operation will repeat indefinitely.

For the E361 gooseneck microphone, there is a continuously variable pattern control

located on the bottom which can change the microphone pickup pattern from omni-

directional to figure-8.

Users may use an audio cable terminated with a professional 3-pin XLR type connector

to send a balanced audio signal to a microphone preamp, or a three-conductor cable

with one open end and the other terminated with a professional 3-pin male XLR type

connector. If an audio cable terminating in XLR connectors on both ends is used, it can

simply be plugged in to the built-in XLR jack at the back of the base. If a hard-wired

installation is preferred, a three-conductor cable with an open end can be directly

attached to the base following the instructions below; this cable can be led out from the

bottom, or from the back if preferred.

1. Determine whether the cable is to be led out from the bottom or the rear of the

base.

2. If from the bottom, then first of all, open the rectangular plastic panel on the

bottom. The 4-pin connector will be visible. Insert the open end of the cable into the

hole located at the center of the bottom and feed the cable end into the 4-pin connector

recess. Connect the wires according to the pin assignment below.

3. If the wire is to be led out through the rear of the base, then first of all, open the

rectangular plastic panel on the bottom to expose the 4-pin connectors. Remove the

small rubber cover from the hole at the back of the base and feed the open end of the

cable through this hole until it reaches the 4-pin connector recess. Connect the wires

according to the pin assignment below.

4. Replace the plastic panel over the 4-pin connectors.

The pin assignment is as follows:

1.) XLR pin 1 shield cable to position marked no. 1 on pcb

2.) XLR pin 2 red cable to position no. 2 on pcb

3.) XLR pin 3 white cable to position no. 3 on pcb

4.) The no. 4 is disconnected.

Knowing your microphone

Superlux provides a great variety of microphones for both professionals and amateurs.

Knowing the performance characteristics of your microphone is the first step in achieving

a successful result.

Powering the microphone

Condenser microphones work with power. The professional standard is 48VDC phantom

power. Both the E309D and E361 require 48V phantom power; make sure your audio

system offers a full 48V phantom power to operate both the E309D and E361.

Uni-directional condenser microphones feature very high sensitivity at -40dBV/Pa for

highly intelligible speech application. Their reduced off-axis sensitivity helps to lower

background noise while their maximized on-axis sensitivity provides the highest gain

before feedback

in a live sound system.

It is recommended that the user should keep a distance of 15 cm to 40 cm from the

microphone and maintain an average speech level. Speaking too close to the

microphone will result in excessive bass due to the proximity effect which will interfere

with intelligibility. A quality conference microphone incorporates a built-in limiter to help

prevent distortion due to an overly-excited user or one who speaks too close to the

microphone.

There are several choices of gooseneck to suit various demands. For aesthetics, single or

double bend goosenecks are a better choice over a fully-bendable design. Having a low

bending noise is another important feature of a good gooseneck microphone. It is

recommended that the user not bend the gooseneck too hard or too quickly as this may

generate excessive noise, thus disturbing the audience. In most cases, each attendee has

his own microphone or a microphone is shared by every 2 attendees. Although having

numbers of microphones in operation in one space at the same time is not

recommended due to the potential for a feedback problem, a good system operator can

minimize this risk by keeping as few microphones turned on at the same time as

possible. An auto-mixer is a good choice for multiple microphone installations since it

limits the number of turned-on microphones at one time. An advanced auto mixer

features a dynamic threshold and auto gain reduction which varies according to the

number of turned-on microphones to keep the same system gain. Wind screens are vital

for windy environments such as outdoor venues or proximity to air-conditioning systems.

Keep the capsule and wind screen clean for good audio performance.
