New: the complete Earsight user guide — now in four languages

I get the same questions a lot: which voltage does my recorder need? how do I wear the Binaural? why is my mic humming? So I sat down and put everything I know about the Earsight range into one guide — and this week I’m finally making it available to everyone, free, as a PDF you can keep.

It’s 16 pages, illustrated throughout, and covers the whole life of a pair of Earsight mics:

• The range at a glance — every model, self-noise and sensitivity side by side, and how to pick the right one for what you record

• Powering and wiring — PIP voltage, 48V phantom, and exactly which adapter you need for your recorder

• Getting started — five steps from unboxing to your first take

• Wind protection and accessories — windshields, clips, soft mounts

• Care and troubleshooting — what to do (and never do) with electret capsules, and how to fix the most common issues yourself

• Recording techniques — binaural, A/B, ORTF and X/Y, and when to reach for each one

• Warranty and returns

It’s meant to sit on your shelf next to the mics themselves — whether you’ve had a pair for years or just unboxed your first one.

Available in French, English, Spanish and German

The guide ships in four languages, so wherever you’re recording, you’ve got it in your own:

• 🇫🇷 Download the French guide — Guide d’utilisation et d’entretien
• 🇬🇧 Download the English guide
• 🇪🇸 Download the Spanish guide — Guía de uso y mantenimiento
• 🇩🇪 Download the German guide — Bedienungs- und Pflegeanleitung

Free, no sign-up, yours to keep. If anything in it doesn’t match your mic or you spot something worth adding, just write to me — this is a living document and I’ll keep it current.

Happy recording.
