Operation
Holding the microphone
If you cover the microphone head during transmission, this will change the pick-up pattern of the microphone and consequently the sound.
-
Only hold the microphone by its body.
Positioning the microphone
-
It is vital to observe the following notes:
- Position A: Very little crosstalk from other sound sources.
- Resulting sound: High proximity effect (large bass boost), powerful, direct sound
- Position B: More crosstalk from other sound sources.
- Resulting sound: Less proximity effect (less bass boost), some room ambience, natural, balanced sound
- Position C: Higher crosstalk from other sound sources.
- Resulting sound: Very little proximity effect (minimal bass boost), more room ambience, indirect sound
- Position A: Very little crosstalk from other sound sources.
-
If sibilance occurs: Position the microphone slightly to the side and not directly in front of the mouth.
Positioning the monitor loudspeakers
-
To prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your monitor loudspeakers in the angle area of the highest
cancellation of the microphone (cardioid: 180°; super-cardioid: 135°).
Adjusting the pick-up pattern

Danger of damage to the microphone!
The switches on the microphone can be damaged if you try to operate them using tools.
Only operate the switches on the microphone using your fingers.
| |
- Unscrew the sound inlet basket.
-
Set the directivity switch to the desired position:
- Cardioid
- A cardioid pick-up pattern also picks up sound from the sides. This pattern is good for picking up several vocalists at once, e.g. a choir or ensemble.
- Super-cardioid
- A super-cardioid pickup pattern reduces pick-up from the sides. This pattern is therefore good for picking up individual an individual sound source in a noisy environment. Crosstalk from other instruments on stage is drastically reduced.

- Unscrew the sound inlet basket.
-
Set the pad switch to the desired position:
- 0 dB
- No attenuation
- -10 dB
- Reduces the sensitivity of the microphone capsule by 10 dB
- Increases the maximum sound pressure level
- 0 dB

- Unscrew the sound inlet basket.
-
Set the low-cut/roll-off switch to the desired position:
- Off, linear frequency response
- Eliminates low-frequency noise such as impact sound, fan noise, etc.
