If the LED does not illuminate,
there is no battery inserted or the
battery capacity is too weak and
the battery has to be replaced.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the microphone in
this position, as the battery will
rapidly become exhausted.
Position “ON”: Battery power is switched on; the
microphone is ready for operation.
The MCE 72 can be used with elastic suspensions.
The EA 19/25 elastic suspension suppresses footfall
sound effectively.
Using the special EA 86 elastic suspension with a
flash holder, the MCE 72 can be mounted onto the
“hot shoe” of a camcorder directly but remains isolated
from noise caused by the video head and the drive.
Connection
The MCE 72 is
fitted with a 5-pin XLR-plug.
Use the supplied cable (5-pin XLR/3.5 mm stereo jack)
to connect the microphone to devices with 3.5 mm
stereo jack socket. The MCE 72 is suitable for direct
connection to most camcorders, DAT and MD
recorders. If the input of the recorder has a plug-in
power, the function of the MCE 72 is not affected.
Setting up
Set up the
microphone so
that the description points to the
top. „L“ points to the left and
„R“ to the right side.
The angle of the principal axis of
the two microphone capsules is 120°. This results in a
pickup angle of 140°, i.e. ±70° to the microphone
axis. Depending on their position sound sources
within this pickup angle are recorded from the very
left to the very right. The width of the stereo base
can be adjusted via the recording distance i.e. a
small distance results in a broad field and vice versa.
