The small tip on many of our microphones allows them to capture the highest frequencies of
your sound. Please be gentle and considerate when handling the microphones with these tips.
(Microphones such as the SR314 and SR40V shield the tip within their capsule, and are thus
more durable.)

Thank you for purchasing the
Earthworks SR30 Condenser Microphone!
Before setting up the microphone, pull back all existing settings and EQ. By doing this, you will have a
baseline understanding of how our microphones sound, and will then be able to adjust accordingly.
Begin by removing all included components from the packaging. Make sure to mute any incoming
signal to speakers or headphones to avoid any loud “pops” when connecting.
Connect the microphone to an audio interface supplying 24-48V phantom power using a standard
XLR cable. Please allow one minute for the microphone to settle. (Plugging in the microphone while
phantom power is turned on will not damage the microphone, and will actually settle the microphone
faster.)
To guarantee your microphone provides years of performance, follow these guidelines:
• Avoid touching the front protective screen.
• Never attempt to disassemble the microphone.
• Avoid extreme heat and condensing humidity. Allow the microphone to warm up when bringing it
in from the cold.
• Rough handling may damage the microphone even if no markings are visible
• When not in use, keep the microphone in its bag.
