Powering the Microphone The MC24-EL and MC24-ES require power to operate. Both microphones can operate with 48 V phantom power supplied by most professional video cameras, mixing consoles, or recording devices. To power the MC24-EL or MC24-ES, connect an XLR cable to the microphone and activate phantom power on your source.
Installing the Battery (MC24-EL only) The MC24-EL can also run on a single AA battery. To install the battery, follow these steps: 1. Unscrew the base of the microphone and slide it down to expose the battery compartment. Note: The battery compartment cover does not come off. Do not try to force it off of the microphone. 2. Insert the bottom of the battery into the battery compartment according to the orientation on the diagram. 3. Press the top of the battery down into place in the compartment. 4.
Mounting the Microphone A mic clip is included for mounting your microphone on a mic stand or boom pole with a 3/8″ or 5/8″ stud. An adapter bushing comes installed in the mic stand. For mounting on a 5/8″ stud, remove the bushing from the mounting socket of the mic clip with a screwdriver or a coin. Make sure to mount the microphone so that the mic clip is not blocking the side ports of the microphone.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution No sound is being recorded. Make sure your mixer or amplifier is turned on. Make sure phantom power is engaged. (EL only) If using battery power, make sure a fresh battery is installed. Your preamp gain may be turned all the way down. Gradually turn it up until a satisfactory input level is reached. Make sure the microphone is properly connected, and that connections are secure. Check your cable to make sure it’s reliable. Try replacing it with another cable.
Problem Solution Activate the high-pass filter. Too much lowfrequency noise or rumble is being recorded. Turn off air conditioners, fans, heaters, or other devices that might be interfering with your recording. Fit an Auray windscreen (available separately) over the microphone to minimize noise from wind.
