Overview: The e60 incorporates a 16mm, 24k Gold sputtered externally biased condenser capsule. The mic is designed specifically for use as an instrument microphone for overheads, hi-hats, and pianos, and is great for virtually all acoustic, wind, and amplified instruments. One of the most popular uses for the e60 is in miking drum sets, ideally in an overhead type configuration. The e60 also excels at miking stringed instruments such as acoustic guitars.
The e60 has a four position roll-off which allows for extended “tuning” of the frequency response at the microphone for your particular application. The e60 is also equipped with a -10dB pad switch to reduce the output level of the microphone by 10dB accordingly. If your board is “clipping” or distorting when using the e60, try switching the pad switch to the -10dB position. Alternatively, if you are not getting enough signal from the microphone, switch the pad switch to the 0dB position.
The e60 microphone uses a true condenser microphone element. As with any studio condenser microphone, special care should be taken to keep the microphone clean and dry. It is highly recommended the e60 be stored in its included vinyl pouch in a cool, dry environment to ensure a long life of the capsule when not in use. If the e60 is used in a vocal application, it is very important to use a fabric “pop” filter.
