Troubleshooting
General Rules for Use
Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source (such as the talker, singer, or instrument) and away from •
unwanted sources.
Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired sound source. •
Work close to the microphone for extra bass response. •
Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source. •
Use the fewest number of microphones as practical. •
Keep the distance between microphones at least three times the distance from each microphone to its source. •
Place microphones as far as possible from reflective surfaces. •
Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors. •
Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical noise and vibration. •
Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with your hand, as this will adversely affect microphone •
performance.
Low Frequency Rolloff
The low frequency rolloff may be used for voice or medium- to high-range instru-
ments. It reduces floor rumble and low-frequency room noise from heating and air
conditioning systems. Also used to compensate for proximity effect or to reduce low
frequencies that make an instrument sound dull or muddy.
