User manual ELECTRO-VOICE CS20 DATASHEET

[. . . ] The result is a exceptional performing instrument microphone with clean, clear, consistent sound that "cuts through the mix. " · VOBTM technology provides tailored bass response for controlled "proximity effect" and exceptional sound clarity · Excellent choice for micing acoustical or electrical instruments whether in a live sound or studio environment · Neodymium based magnet provides greater sensitivity and signal to noise ratio · Cardioid pattern for superior feedback rejection and acoustic isolation · Warm GripTM handle for comfortable feel and lower handling noise Operation The low frequency response of the N/D478 microphone varies with the distance from the sound source. Known as "proximity effect, " maximum bass response is produced in "close-up" use with the microphone 1/4 inch from the sound source. [. . . ] Normal bass response is experienced with working distances greater than 24 inches. Working close to the microphone will produce a more robust sound. Close up positioning of the microphone will also reduce the potential for feedback from the sound reinforcement system. When close-miced, the bass-boost provides an increase in overall microphone output level. The mixer gain may be proportionately reduced, resulting in a reduction of the system's sensitivity to feedback caused by sound entering the microphone from the loudspeakers. Microphone Use and Placement Please note that micing techniques are a matter of personal preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the placement of the microphone to gain optimal performance. Usage Electric Guitar and Bass Guitar Amplifier D MICROPHONES Tom-Toms Snare Drum Cymbals High-Hat Brass Acoustic Guitar Optimal Placement Place microphone approximately 1-2" from and at a 90° degree angle to the speaker cone. To reduce boominess, move the microphone off axis to the cone from 90° to 45°, or move mic from center of cone to either edge. On double headed Toms place mic over the top of drum 1-3" and at a 45° angle to the drum surface and 1-2" in from the drum edge. On single headed Toms use above method or place mic inside Tom from underneath at a 90° angle from the center of head, 3-5", away. Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce unwanted mechanical noise 5. Working close to the microphone will increase the bass tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.
