tips for using your en

Your en•CORE 100 should be plugged into a mic-level input using a standard 3-pin XLR cable. The en•CORE 100

does not require phantom power and will not be harmed should phantom power be provided to the microphone while in use.

The sound from your en•CORE microphone heavily relies on how you place the microphone relative to your sound
source. Generally, the closer you place the en•CORE 100 to a sound source, the higher the low frequency output,

referred to as “proximity effect.” So, if you want your vocals or instruments to have added punch, place the microphone

directly against the source. For a more natural sound, simply pull the source back from the microphone 2-4 inches.
