User Techniques and Applications
The Equitek
E-100
has a built in swivel that allows easy microphone positioning and mates to any microphone stand that has standard 5/8" X 27 threads. Loosen the large thumb screw
on the back of the mic to change the mic position. The
E-100
can be used in a broad number of applications, ranging from live reinforcement to the most critical studio situations. The
E-100
is ideal for vocals and voice overs, yet it also excels at some of the most demanding instrumental projects. The
E-100
is great for virtually all acoustic, wind, and amplified
instruments. One of the most popular uses for the
E-100
is in miking drum sets, especially kick drums. The
E-100
has been proven to be outstanding in all of these applications and more.
Its uncolored sonic characteristics allow you to decide how a instrument or vocal will sound in the mix. The supercardoid polar pattern is very useful in live applications where feedback
control and tight miking are required. The
E-100
is available in hand selected, electronically matched pairs for stereo recording applications. The model number is
E-100MP
. The
microphones come in a hard shell carrying case and are matched for output level and frequency response. (See photo below.)

A Special Note About Batteries
The high quality rechargeable batteries used in the Equitek
E-100
are Nickel Metal Hydride type. They were selected to provide long life with virtually no maintenance and have a number
of properties that make them superior to most commonly available rechargeable "9 volt" batteries:
1) Higher output voltage
2) Lower self discharge rate
3) High immunity to overcharging
If the
E-100
is operated with a 48 volt phantom power supply it is unlikely they will ever need to be recharged, even if the microphone is unused for months. If it should ever become
necessary to replace the batteries or if you simply want a spare set, we suggest that you buy replacements from us. This is not because we are trying to sell batteries, but because we want
you to continue to realize the maximum performance capability of your Equitek microphone. Contact the
CAD
sales department to purchase replacement or additional batteries.
to select the proper mode. From the factory, the two pins towards the left are shorted to enable the auto shut off
circuit. To disable the circuit, pull off the jumper and replace it so that the two pins towards the right are shorted.
The microphone can also be used with phantom power when it is in this mode, however you must remember to
turn the microphone off when not in use or the batteries will be depleted.
