GETTING TARTED
The SR20LS is a condenser microphone with active
electronics. This means
 Its output level will be naturally higher than many of
the dynamic microphones that it may be replacing.
It is not uncommon to need to reduce gain if you
were previously using a dynamic microphone.
 You will need to engage phantom power on your
interface or preamp. Pro Tip: It's always a good idea
to plug in a condenser microphone while phantom
power is off and the channel is muted. After
engaging phantom power, give the microphone a
short time to settle before unmuting.
PROPER MAINTENANCE
To guarantee your microphone provides years of
performance, follow these guidelines
 Avoid touching the front protective screen.
 Never attempt to disassemble the microphone - it
cannot be opened.
 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 SR20LS in its bags.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
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.)
