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:
①
   Single-flange silicone ear tips 
(2 small and 2 large) 
②
  Double-flange silicone ear tips 
③
  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 and 
the IE-30  earphones) will allow  you  to connect 
to  a  variety  of  other  consumer  electronics 
equipment.
