The Equitek e60 from CAD is an externally biased cardioid condenser microphone.
The Equitek e60 incorporates a number of unique features including:
•16mm, 24k Gold sputtered externally biased condenser capsule.
•10dB non-capacitive pad
•4 position hi-pass filter - flat, 40Hz, 85Hz, and 122Hz
•CAD's proprietary discrete linear power supply for efficient low noise and linear power
regulation, allows greater dynamic range and lower equivalent self-noise
The e60 requires 24-48 volt phantom power for proper operation. Before plugging the
microphone in, make sure the selected channel is turned off.
NOTE: If the microphone is plugged into a hot channel, this will result in a loud “pop”
which can possibly damage your audio equipment.
Next, plug the male end of a standard 3 pin mic cable into a mixing console equipped
with phantom power, then plug the female end of the cable into the microphone.
Make sure all of the gains are turned down, and the pad switch is in the -10 position.
Finally, turn on the channel which the microphone is plugged into, and turn on phantom
power if applicable.
Caution!
Before using the microphone, the circuit needs to stabilize for a period of 2-3 minutes.
Do not switch any of the switches on the back of the e60 until after the initial
stabilization time mentioned above. Failure to do so will result in a “pop” similar to
plugging the mic into a hot circuit, again this could possibly damage expensive audio
gear if done repeatedly.
