Frequently Asked Questions - WM300 Eikon

How do I connect the WM300 microphone to my audio interface?

Use a standard XLR cable to connect the microphone to any audio interface or mixer with an XLR input. If your interface provides phantom power (48V), you can enable it, though the WM300 is a dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power to operate.

Does the WM300 work with a computer without an audio interface?

The WM300 uses an XLR output, so you will need an audio interface or a USB adapter with an XLR input to connect it to a computer. A direct connection via a 3.5mm jack is not possible.

What is the polar pattern of the WM300?

The WM300 has a cardioid polar pattern, which picks up sound primarily from the front and rejects noise from the sides and rear. This makes it ideal for live vocals and recording in untreated rooms.

How should I clean and maintain the WM300?

Wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth. For the grille, you can gently remove the windscreen and wash it with mild soap and water. Avoid exposing the microphone to moisture or extreme temperatures.

Can I use the WM300 with phantom power?

Yes, the WM300 is designed to handle phantom power (48V) without damage, but it is not required for operation. Dynamic microphones like the WM300 work without phantom power.

What accessories are included with the WM300?

The package includes the WM300 microphone, a microphone clip for stand mounting, a foam windscreen to reduce plosives, and a protective carrying case for storage and transport.

What is the frequency response of the WM300?

The frequency response ranges from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, providing a clear and natural sound suitable for speech and vocals with a slight boost in the presence range.

How do I mount the WM300 on a stand?

Attach the included microphone clip to the stand by screwing it onto the stand's thread (typically 5/8" or 3/8" via adapter). Then insert the microphone into the clip and tighten the screw to secure it.

What is the warranty period for the WM300?

The Eikon WM300 comes with a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. For warranty claims, contact the retailer or Eikon support with proof of purchase.

How can I reduce feedback when using the WM300 live?

Position the microphone close to the sound source and avoid pointing the rear of the microphone (where rejection is weakest) towards monitor speakers. Use the cardioid pattern to your advantage and ensure proper gain staging.

WM300 - WM300D RECEIVER

See FIG. 1 at page 15:

1. DC IN Socket for the AC/DC adaptor connection, use only the adaptor supplied with the system.

2. OUTPUT (UNBALANCED) Unbalanced audio output with line level: connect it through a mono 6.3mm jack cable to a mixer input.

3. OUTPUT (BALANCED) Balanced audio output with mic level: connect it through an XLR cable to a mixer input.

4. POWER On/off switch.

5. ON Red LED: if lighted states that the power supply is present and the receiver is turned on.

6. RF Green LED: if lighted states that the transmitter is sending a radio signal to the receiver.

7. AF Red LED: illuminates when an audio signal is present.

8. VOLUME Volume potentiometer: set this control to a proper level that doesn't saturate the mixer input channel.

9. ANTENNA These are the receiving antennas. Raise them up during the use and, to obtain a better reception, place the receiver away from other metal objects and no more distant than 30m from the transmitter.

10. RECEIVING FREQUENCY In this display you can find the receiving radio frequency.

In case of use of more radio apparatus it must correspond to the frequency of the wireless transmitter that will be used.

WM3M HANDHELD TRANSMITTER

See FIG. 2 at page 16:

1. MICROPHONE GRID

The grid protects the microphone capsule and include a pop filter. Type of microphone capsule is dynamic with a cardioid unidirectional figure.

2. DISPLAY

The display shows the frequency and channel number, that must correspond to the frequency set on the receiver. Note: when a flashing light appears, the batteries are near to be exhaust, to indicate that they must be replaced as soon as possible.

3. ON-OFF

Holding down the button for one second the screen lights up and the microphone enters transmission mode. Pressing the button for one second the word OFF appears on the screen and the transmitter turns off.

4. BATTERIES INLET

To operate the microphone needs 2 type AA alkaline batteries.

Note: the microphone is able to operate also with 2 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, but in this case the operating time is less.

On the back side of the batteries inlet an adhesive shows the operating frequency of the transmitter.

WM3H BODYPACK TRANSMITTER

See FIG. 3 at page 16:

1. AUDIO INPUT

3,5mm mini jack input socket to connect the supplied microphones.

2. LED DISPLAY

The display shows the operating frequency of the transmitter.

• When the microphone is switched on the led display will light for about 3 second.
• If the batteries are good, it will turn off (even if the microphone is switched on and operative).
• The display will light again if the microphone is switched on and the batteries are near to be exhaust, to indicate that they must be replaced as soon as possible.

3. OFF MUTE ON

On/off switch, downward the microphone is off, upward the microphone is on. There is a middle position where the microphone is switched on but it is muted, useful in case you don't want to hear the typical switching on/off click.

4. ANTENNA

This is the transmitting integral antenna: do not force, try to disconnect, or replace with other one.

5. BATTERIES COVER

Sliding down the lower part of the bodypack you can access to the battery inlet.

6. GAIN

Using a PH1 Phillips screwdriver and rotating this trimmer is possible to optimize the gain of the microphone before its signal is transmitted. Rotate it clockwise if you want an higher gain (speaking) or rotate it counter-clockwise if you want a lower gain (singing).

7. SENSITIVITY

Select between the two inputs sensitivity:

• L position = LOW usually used with instruments.
- H position = HIGH usually used for the Headset and Lavalier microphones like those supplied.

8. BATTERIES INLET

To operate the microphone needs 2 type AA alkaline batteries.

Note: the microphone is able to operate also with 2 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, but in this case the operating time is less.

9. CLIP

Clip to hook the Bodypack to the belt.

10. FREQUENCY

On the back side of bodypack an adhesive shows the operating frequency of the transmitter.
