1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to use MicW series professional microphones!
MicW E216 has outstanding characteristics that make the microphone a valuable tool
in the studio, measurement and on the stage.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTION
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. MicW assumes no 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.
3. POWER SUPPLY
Phantom power (+48 V) is required to operate your microphone. We assume no
liability for damage caused to your E216 through defective phantom power. Before
activating phantom power, mute your playback system and connect the E216 to the
microphone input of your mixing console. After activating phantom power, the E216
requires several seconds to stabilize itself.
4. APPLICATIONS
The MicW E216 is a state-of-the-art stereo kit. Therefore, it is particularly well-suited for
stereo recordings. Regardless of whether you are milking an entire ensemble or a single
sound source (e.g. drums, piano or background

To connect the E216 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 E216 are gold-plated, your microphone cable should feature
