USB port.

Connect stereo headphones using
an 1/8" connector.
NOTE:
Your ears are important to us!
Be careful of permanent hearing damage.
Lower the volume on your device. Even
intermediate levels may be painfully loud.
Always turn the volume all the way down
before connecting the headphones
or doing anything new that may affect
the headphone volume. Then turn it
up slowly as you listen carefully.

Mutes the mic signal.
4. Power and Mute LED

is engaged.
GETTING STARTED
1. Read and understand the Important
Safety Instructions on page 4.
2. Connect the USB-B side of the included
USB cable to the microphone and the
USB-A side to the computer’s USB port.
NOTE: Do not use a USB hub, keyboard’s
USB port, etc. Plug directly into an open
USB port on the computer.
3. Computer setup instructions
[plug-and-play, no drivers required!]:
Mac: System Preferences > Sound
> Input (and Output) > EM-91CU+
Microphone
PC:
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound
> Sound > Playback (and Recording) >
EM-91CU+ Microphone (make default).
Make sure the input and output levels
of the computer are un-muted and up.
4. Open up your favorite DAW and start
a new session.
5. While most DAWs work (relatively)
the same, the path to recording may
be different. As such, refer to your DAW’s
manual on how to open new sessions,
create tracks, select the USB microphone,
arm tracks and the best part... recording!
Have fun!
