Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi, what dimensions of the mic will fit this windscreen?

A: The Shure A99WS will fit gooseneck mics with capsules that are approximately 1/2 in diameter.

Q: 2. Does anyone know the effect the foam wind filters have on the frequency response of a QTC-50?

A: Hi Gordon,A QTC50 with a foam windscreen will experience serious attenuation of frequencies above 20 KHz, and thats for good quality foam. The amount of attenuation will depend a lot on the foam texture and model.Hope this helps,Pedro RochaEarthworks, Inc.Business Development Manager

Q: 3. What's the smaller foam for? Extra attenuation if inserted into the windscreen?

A: Thank you for your question. the smaller foam is to assist in further wind attenuation for the top of the mic capsule.

Q: 4. Does it fit Sennheiser E935 mic?

A: I purchased a Sennheiser MD 46 - Dynamic ENG Microphone and it fits perfectly!

Q: 5. What does the output stage box connect to in order to record? Can the PM40 be connected directly to a computer or iPad Pro?

A: The Earthworks PM40 PianoMic Piano Condenser Microphone System has a single stereo 5-pin XLR connector which connects to the input on the included electronics box and feeds to a pair of standard 3-pin XLR output connectors. The electronics box functions as a Y-cable that splits the audio to enable connection to two separate XLR inputs on a variety of devices such as a mixer, amplifier, recorder, camera, or USB audio interface. In order to power the mics, each of the inputs will need to supply 48V of phantom power or you can use standalone phantom power supplies instead. To connect the PM40 PianoMic to a computer, you can use a two-channel USB audio interface such as the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface (B&H # FOSCARL2I23G) or the MOTU M2 Desktop 2x2 USB Type-C Audio-MIDI Interface (B&H # MAM2). The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 can be used with an iPad Pro running iPadOS, and the MOTU M2 can be used with an iPad running iOS 9 or later. For a more compact mobile interface that can operate with battery power, you can use the IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo I/O 2-Channel Audio/MIDI Interface for Mobile Devices and Computers (B&H # IKIRIGPRODUO).

Q: 6. For pro podcasts and webinars in a slightly treated room, how would this compare to the RE20 or MKH416 running through a MixPre 3 II as the interface?

A: The Earthworks ETHOS B Broadcast Condenser Microphone is similar to the Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Microphone in its capsule type and directionality, both being directional condensers. The ETHOS B has off-axis rejection for reducing room noise but is likely more forgiving than the MKH 416 in terms of capturing voice when the head turns. The 416 would require discipline from the user in the sense that they would need to be speaking directly at the microphone for the best pickup. The 416 would also be more optimal at a distance, making staying on-axis a bit more difficult. The Electro-Voice RE20 is a less sensitive, dynamic end address microphone more commonly used in these scenarios. It has a wider, more standard cardioid pickup pattern than the ETHOS B. The ETHOS B is more sensitive than the RE20, but makes up for potential room noise issues with its tight pickup pattern. The ETHOS B also has the widest frequency response of the three microphones.

Q: 7. Is this price for one or two windscreens?

Q: 9. Does the version being shipped have the cutout for the gain control knob?

A: Yes, the Zoom WSH-6 Foam Windscreen for XYH-6 Microphone Capsule does have a cut out for the gain control knob.

Q: 10. What is the diameter of the tip, for SLP calibrator adapters?

A: The capsule diameter of the Earthworks M30 is 5.8 mm.
