Both E309D PRO and E36 1 integrate a low-profile microphon e base and require a phantom power supp ly. Their base provides a soft touch b utton that can be configured
for "push-to-tal k", "push-to-mute" or “togg le on-and-off” operation th rough the dip

1. Push-to-talk: The mi crophone is normally muted. Pushi ng and holding the soft touch button will tu rn the microphone on. As soon as the o perator stops holding the soft touch button, the mi crophone will return to mute.
2. Push-to-mute: The mi crophone is normally on. Pushing and h olding the soft touch button will mute the m icrophone. As soon as the operato r stops holding the soft touch
button, the micropho ne will again turn on.
3. Toggle / Power Up ON: As soon as phantom p ower is applied to the base, the microphone is on. Mome ntarily pressing the soft touc h button will mute the microphone. Moment arily pressing the soft touch bu tton again will turn the microph one on. This operation w ill repeat indefinitely.
4. Toggle / Power Up OFF (Muted): As soon a s phantom power is applied to th e base, the microphone is mute d. Momentarily pressing the so ft touch button will turn the microphone on. Momen tarily pressing the soft touch b utton again will mute the microphone. This ope ration will repeat indefinit ely.
For the E361 goosene ck microphone, there is a continuo usly variable pattern cont rol located on the botto m which can change the microphon e pickup pattern from omni­directional to figure- 8.

Users may use an audio c able terminated with a profess ional 3-pin XLR type connect or to send a balanced aud io signal to a microphone preamp, or a t hree-conductor cable with one open end and th e other terminated with a profes sional 3-pin male XLR type connector. If an audio ca ble terminating in XLR conne ctors on both ends is used, it can simply be plugged in t o the built-in XLR jack at the bac k of the base. If a hard-wired installation is pref erred, a three-conductor cable w ith an open end can be directly
attached to the base f ollowing the instructions below; this cable can be led out from the
bottom, or from the back if preferred.
1. Determine whethe r the cable is to be led out from the bott om or the rear of the
base.
2. If from the bottom, then f irst of all, open the rectangula r plastic panel on the
bottom. The 4-pin co nnector will be visible. Inse rt the open end of the cable int o the hole located at the ce nter of the bottom and feed the ca ble end into the 4-pin connector recess. Connect the wi res according to the pin assignmen t below.
3. If the wire is to be led out throu gh the rear of the base, then first of a ll, open the
rectangular plasti c panel on the bottom to expose th e 4-pin connectors. Remove the small rubber cover from the hole at the back of the base and fe ed the open end of the cable through this hol e until it reaches the 4-pin conne ctor recess. Connect the wires according to the pin ass ignment below.
4. Replace the plastic pan el over the 4-pin connectors . The pin assignment i s as follows:
1.) XLR pin 1 shield cab le to position marked no. 1 on pcb
2.) XLR pin 2 red cable to pos ition no. 2 on pcb
3.) XLR pin 3 white cabl e to position no. 3 on pcb
4.) The no. 4 is disconn ected.

Knowing your microphone
Superlux provides a grea t variety of microphones for bot h professionals and amateurs . Knowing the perfor mance characteristics of y our microphone is the first step i n achieving a successful result.
Powering the microphone
Condenser micropho nes work with power. The profession al standard is 48VDC phantom power. Both the E309D and E 361 require 48V phantom power; make sure your audio system offers a full 48 V phantom power to operate both the E 309D and E361.
Uni-directional co ndenser microphones feature ve ry high sensitivity at -40dB V/Pa for highly intelligi ble speech application. Th eir reduced off-axis sensitivi ty helps to lower background noise whil e their maximized on-axis se nsitivity provides the high est gain before feedback in a live sound system . It is recommended that t he user should keep a distance o f 15 cm to 40 cm from the microphone and maint ain an average speech level. S peaking too close to the microphone will result i n excessive bass due to the proxim ity effect which will interf ere with intelligibi lity. A quality conference microph one incorporates a built-i n limiter to help prevent distorti on due to an overly-excited us er or one who speaks too close to the microphone. There are several choice s of gooseneck to suit various d emands. For aesthetics, si ngle or double bend goosen ecks are a better choice over a full y-bendable design. Having a low bending noise is ano ther important feature of a good g ooseneck microphone. It is recommended that the u ser not bend the gooseneck too h ard or too quickly as this may generate excessi ve noise, thus disturbing th e audience. In most cases, eac h attendee has his own microphone or a mic rophone is shared by every 2 attende es. Although having numbers of microphon es in operation in one space at th e same time is not recommended due to the p otential for a feedback proble m, a good system operator can minimize this risk b y keeping as few microphones tur ned on at the same time as possible. An auto- mixer is a good choice for multi ple microphone installatio ns since it limits the number of t urned-on microphones at one ti me. An advanced auto mixer features a dynamic thres hold and auto gain reduction whi ch varies according to the number of turned-o n microphones to keep the same sys tem gain. Wind screens are vital for windy environmen ts such as outdoor venues or proxi mity to air-conditioning systems. Keep the capsule and wind s creen clean for good audio perfo rmance.
