(Maximum rejection is found at the 135-degree
point of the polar pattern.
Place the SR117 1-2 inches away from the vocalist’s
mouth for best results.

surfaces
Even though the SR117 is treated to minimize
handling noise, the best position for it is mounted
onto a microphone stand
Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with
your hand, as this will adversely affect microphone
