Fitting the Ear Tips

M-Audio has included a variety of ear tips to
ensure a good seal for your ears. All ears are
unique so you will need to determine which tips
are most comfortable for you.

Most users find that the single-flange silicone
ear tips provide a good fit for their ears and are
the easiest to use. However, some customers
prefer the foam tips for the best seal and more
secure fit (see section on Suggestions for Using
Ear Tips).

Your M-Audio earphones come with medium
single-flange silicone ear tips already attached.
Included with your earphones are the following
additional ear tips:

Single-flange silicone ear tips

(2 small and 2 large)

Double-flange silicone ear tips

Disposable foam ear tips

Attaching the Ear Tips
The ear tips can be attached or removed by
using a gentle grasping and twisting motion.
The ear tip should fit securely over the ear
conductor and—once the ear tip is in place—the
ear conductor should not be exposed.

Care and Cleaning of Flanged Silicone
Ear Tips
The silicone ear tips are reusable and should
be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe after each
use. They should also be removed and cleaned
regularly with mild soap and water. The ear tip
should be completely dry before you place it on
the ear conductor.

Care of Foam Ear Tips
The foam ear tips are designed for limited use
and should be discarded when they appear
discolored.

Connecting to a Listening Device
M-Audio earphones come with an 1/8-inch
input plug that is compatible with most personal
listening devices. In addition, our optional
1⁄4 inch adapter (included with the IE-20 XB,
IE-30, and IE-40 earphones) will allow you
to connect to a variety of other consumer
electronics equipment.
