Installing the microphone

Observe the following when mounting the microphone:

  1. If possible, set up the microphone so that the microphone basket is directed upward. This setup provides the best results as it minimizes reflections from both the microphone itself and from the floor.
  2. Mount the microphone directly above or below the camera, ideally at a distance of 50 cm.
  3. Make sure that the sound inlet direction of the microphone is congruent with the direction of video recording. This makes it easier to keep the sound and video in sync during production. The sound inlet direction is marked with the Sennheiser logo and the labeling "FRONT UP".
  4. Only mount the microphone in a dry environment. Humidity and moisture can damage the microphone capsules.
  5. Do not unscrew the microphone basket while using the microphone.
