Thank you for purchasing an MXL FR series boundary microphone. With proper care, these microphones will provide many years of satisfaction. For best results, please take a few moments to review this literature.

General Characteristics

MXL FR series boundary microphones feature multiple capsules, (three in the FR 400 and 401M, two in the FR 402) to ensure a wide yet controlled pick up pattern. They have been designed with high quality FET pre-amps, to ensure outstanding audio quality under even the most demanding conditions. The FR series boundary microphones require

48v phantom power to operate. Phantom power is available from most professional video cameras and mixers.

The MXL FR-400 has a switch located on the bottom of the microphone, which can boost or cut low frequencies by 6dB to balance the frequency response for different applications. Experimentation with both positioning and selection of the most suitable microphone for any given application is recommended, as both can have a pronounced effect upon the quality of recordings.

If for any reason you get no sound from your FR series boundary microphone, please check that phantom power is being correctly supplied.

Care

Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time so always store the unit in a warm dry place. Remove fingerprints from the exterior with a clean, dry soft cloth.
