E418 has outstanding characteristics that make the microphone a valuable

tool in the studio, measurement and on the stage.

It is important to read all safety precautions and operating instructions before
attempting to operate the unit. Keep all safety precautions and operating
instructions for future reference.

Warning:

Condenser microphones are extremely moisture-sensitive. Never use your
microphone in close proximity to water (e.g. bath tubs, wash basins, sinks,
washing machines, pools, etc.). When doing voice recordings, always use the
enclosed windscreen to safely protect the capsule from moisture.

Please don’t touch the vibration parts especially the diaphragm behind the
protection grid. Don’t move the capsule when it is in operation. Take care not to
drop your microphone as this can lead to severe damage.
liability for any damage caused by the user.

After each use, place it back into its protective casing. Then, lay the small bag
containing the moisture-absorbing crystals on top of the microphone head.

Phantom power (+48 V) is required to operate your microphone. We assume no
liability for damage caused to your E418 through defective phantom power.
Before activating phantom power, mute your playback system and connect the
E418 to the microphone input of your mixing console. After activating phantom
power, the E418 requires several seconds to stabilize itself.

5. MICROPHONE INSTALLATION

First screw a clamp onto the stand before attaching the microphone itself.

6. AUDIO CONNECTION

To connect the E418 to your equipment, use a balanced XLR microphone cable
with the following pin assignment: Pin 1 = shielding, pin 2 = +, pin 3 = -. Since all
contact points of the E418 are gold-plated, your microphone cable should feature
gold-plated connectors, if possible.

7. DIRECTIONAL CHARACTERISTIC

The microphone features a capsule with Omni pickup pattern. Microphones with
this polar pattern are most sensitive to sound coming from in each angle of the
microphone.
