To connect the ES925H6-FM3 to a mixer, use an XLR cable. Plug the male end into the microphone and the female end into an XLR input on your mixer. Ensure phantom power is enabled on the mixer.
For optimal pickup, position the ES925H6-FM3 about 6 to 12 inches away from the speaker's mouth, angled slightly upward. Use a stable gooseneck to adjust height and direction.
To reduce feedback, ensure speakers are positioned in front of the microphone, reduce the microphone gain, and use an equalizer to cut feedback-prone frequencies.
Regularly clean the microphone grill with a soft brush to remove dust. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Check cables and connectors for damage periodically.
The ES925H6-FM3 is compatible with audio interfaces that provide phantom power and have an XLR input. Verify your interface specifications to ensure compatibility.
Check that the XLR cable is securely connected, ensure phantom power is on, and test with a different cable or input to isolate the issue.
While the ES925H6-FM3 can be used outdoors, it is advisable to protect it from moisture and wind using a windscreen and appropriate shielding.
The ES925H6-FM3 features a cardioid polar pattern, which captures sound primarily from the front, reducing ambient noise pickup from the sides and rear, ideal for focused audio capture.
Start with the gain set to a low level, gradually increase until the audio level is adequate without distortion. Avoid peaking levels by monitoring with headphones.
Recommended accessories include a sturdy microphone stand with a flexible gooseneck, a pop filter to minimize plosives, and a windscreen for outdoor use.
