FR-304  
Shotgun Microphone  
ank you for purchasing the MXL FR-304 shotgun microphone. With proper care, this microphone will provide many years of  
satisfaction. For best results, please take a few moments to review this literature.  
General Characteristics  
e MXL FR Series shotgun microphones have been designed with high quality FET pre-amps, to ensure outstanding audio quality  
under even the most demanding conditions.e microphones body is precision made from high quality Aluminum for durability as  
well as audio quality. e MXL FR-304 shotgun microphone can operate from either phantom power. (48V +/- 5V) or via an internal  
AA battery which will provide power for up to 160 hours.  
To insert or replace the internal battery, turn the base of the microphone counterclockwise to unscrew. Slide the cover down to reveal  
the battery compartment. (e cover will not come off the end, do not try to force it or damage may occur.) Insert the battery as per  
the sticker inside the battery compartment. We recommend removing the battery when the microphone is not in use.  
e FR-304 also features a 3 position switch with settings for Bat, Mute, and 48V. When operating from phantom power, ensure the  
switch is set to the 48v position. When operating from battery power, ensure the switch is in the Bat position.e Mute position is  
off, as well as muting the output. When operating from battery power a red LED will flash indicating that the microphone is receiving  
power from the battery.  
If for any reason you get no sound from your FR-304 microphone, check that phantom power is being correctly supplied, or that the  
battery has not become exhausted. In addition, check the cable between the microphone and camera.  
Your MXL FR-304 shotgun microphone is supplied complete with the HSM-01 hot shoe mount to enable ease of mounting on most  
video cameras. In addition, a foam windscreen is provided for use in windy environments.  
Microphone Cables  
e microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of any microphone. Even the finest microphones will sound poor if the  
interconnect cable allows noise to enter, or causes distortion and loss of information. Use only the best microphone cable your budget  
will allow. We recommend using Mogami® brand cable.  
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 soft cloth.
