TECHNICAL SUPPORT QUESTIONS
Why is my microphone not working?
If your microphone does not produce any sound at all, then
chances are you are not using the right cable or you did not
setup your audio interface correctly. Please visit
our support page to find videos on how to setup your
microphone properly and guides. If you are using a mic
booster or a product that goes in between the interface and
the microphone cable, you need remove that so it blocks 48V.
This microphone already has sufficient gain so a mic booster
is not necessary. If your issue is more specific and requires

further help, please message us on live chat or email us at
[email protected].
What comes included when I buy a Stellar X2/Vintage
microphone?
You will receive the microphone, an Aluminum Flight Case, a
spring shockmount, a 3/8" to 5/8” adapter, a foam wind cover,
and a leather pouch. Please view our product pages to view
further specifications.
Where is my stand adapter?
Typically it should be attached to the shockmount. To remove,
use a quarter or screw driver. We have started including it in a
small bag so it is easier to find.

WHICH MICROPHONE SHOULD I
CHOOSE?
What is the difference between the Stellar X2, the Vintage,
and the X3?
The Stellar X2 is designed to be a modern microphone with
little added coloration in the high end. This produces a sound
that is very clear for deeper voice. This makes it a great fit for
many voiceover artist and most singers with a deeper voice.
The Vintage is a much warmer mid ranged focused
microphone that rolls off a lot the highs. This can be good in
retaining clarity and openness without bringing up harshness.
This makes it a good fit for many musical instruments and
certain voices that are more sibilant. However, on certain
voices the Vintage may be too dark or the mid boost may be
too nasally. This is where the X3 comes in. The X3 is just a
pure neutral microphone. Its rare to get a truly neutral mic at
this price point and the X3 will simply pick up what is hearing.
It has a very flat frequency response and it lacks any kind of
coloration. This makes it the most true to the source
microphone we offer.
