Earthworks P30 Periscope Gooseneck Microphone, BLACK Single

The Earthworks P30 Periscope Cardioid High Definition Gooseneck Black Microphone is a directional pre-polarized condenser High Definition Microphone with a first-order cardioid pickup pattern directly coupled to a dedicated wideband, low output impedance transformer less preamplifier. The P30 requires a standard 48V Phantom Power supply. It features a flat frequency response from 30Hz-30kHz, fast impulse response, very low handling noise, uniform polar pattern and high SPL handling capabilities.

It provides excellent uncolored rejection of sounds arriving off-axis. Each microphone is delivered with its own calibration chart providing the individually measured frequency response curve. A mounting clip is included with the microphone. The P30 is protected by U.S Patent No. 6,091,829

Applications
Earthworks P30 is easy to operate. Connect the microphone to a microphone preamplifier supplying 48V phantom power using a standard XLR microphone cable. Allow up to one minute for the microphone to settle. Plugging in the microphone "hot" (phantom power already present at the input) will not damage the microphone and is actually preferred for faster settling.

It is normal for any phantom powered mic to "pop" when plugged in or powered up. Make sure to mute the signal to speakers or headphones when phantom power is first applied. The excellent performance characteristics of the P30 give it a very wide range of application possibilities. With its 4-inch flexible neck and small microphone head, this high- quality microphone could be placed where other microphones could not, such as under the strings of an acoustic bass.

The P30 is an ideal choice for recording or live sound applications using percussion, acoustic or amplified instruments or choir when using microphone stands. It is superior for choir because it doesn't spotlight rather, it picks up an entire section with no hot spots. This microphone has no removable parts.

Care of Microphones
Avoid touching the front protective screen and Never disassemble the microphone.Avoid extreme heat and condensing humidity and allow the microphone to warm up in the case when bringing it in from the cold weather. Rough handling may damage the microphone even if no visible marks are left. When not in use keep the P30 in its case.
