spare parts” on page 9).

Slide on the windshield onto the sound inlet basket
.
To attach the popperstopper:

Remote adjustment of the pick-up patterns
The two signals of the MKH 800 TWIN allow the remote
adjustment of the pick-up patterns at the mixing console.

separate channels and summed together. The sum signal is
then distributed over the stereo channels as usual using the
pan control.
왘
The pan control of both channels has to be aligned
identically for correct operation.
