LAPEL MICROPHONE PLACEMENT CABIN AND WIRELESS MICROPHONES
70
The wireless microphone features an optional lapel microphone with
a foam wind screen. For the best possible sound quality, place the
lapel microphone as described below:
Placement #1 : Clip the lapel microphone inverted near the center of
the chest at least 12 inches away from the face. Placing the
microphone too close to the face results in distorted audio and the
microphone is
less likely to pick up a suspect’s voice.
Placement #2 : Clip the lapel microphone near the center of the belt.
Better sound balance from both the officer and the subject may be
achieved by this placement.
NOTICE
A microphone is built into the belt-pack transceiver. Therefore, a
lapel microphone is not required nor included with the DV-1. When
using a lapel microphone, should the lapel microphone be
disconnected, the built-in microphone takes over.
Since the built-in microphone does not have a wind screen, audio
performance is degraded on windy days.
