provided by the soft boost grid (position A).
Placements on the chest or near the ear of
the performer require a 10dB boost at 12
kHz for the microphone to sound natural
(position B). This acoustical equalization is
noiseless and is provided by the high boost
grid. Type 4065 Miniature Microphone
Headband is only supplied with the soft
boost grid, as the microphone will always
be placed near the mouth.
Note: The microphone is supplied with
the soft boost grid fitted. This grid
must be removed before being
replaced by the high boost grid. Avoid
excessive force or tampering when
removing or mounting the grid as it
may cause damage to the grid and the
net on top of the grid may become
detached.
Correct use of the microphone
element
The diaphragm in the microphone element
is the most sensitive part of the unit and
as emphasized earlier, it must be left
untouched to preserve its original charac-
teristics. Do not spray any substances
such as hair spray directly into the micro-
phone and avoid getting make-up or paint
on the microphone element and housing.
The protection grids are available in three
standard colours: Black, beige and white.
Check if a different coloured protection
grid will be less visible before painting or
colouring a microphone grid.
Tip: In lapel or tie placement it is re-
commended that the microphone grid
point away from the mouth to
decrease breathing noises caused by
the mouth or nose of the performer.
The microphone element is completely
omnidirectional at all frequencies, so
this method will not colour the sound.
