User manual SENNHEISER MKH 418 S P48 U

[. . . ] Its high degree of directivity makes the MKH 418 S the ideal choice for stereophonic recordings for reporting, film and television applications. [. . . ] The proportion of the S signal influences the spatial effect and should be chosen in each case in accordance with the recording situation. In order to avoid restricting the possibilities of designing the sound impression, MS ­ XY matrixing in the microphone was not employed. If a matrix circuit is not available on the mixing console, matrixing can be performed using the 3-fader method (see diagram). Take an output from the second channel and connect to the third channel panned full right and phase reversed (via a phase reverse switch or via the cable). (To set the correct S signal level - set the pan controls of channel two to central, set the main fader to normal level and set the correct level at the preset. Then, set the pan control of channel 3 to centre, set the main fader to the same level as channel two and then adjust the pre-set of channel three until The signal totally disappears ­ the two channels are now set identical ­ now pan channel two fully left and channel three fully right for normal operation). Channels two and three are controlled as a single fader (mechanically or electrically coupled together). The stereo width is controlled by the relative levels ­ less side is a narrower image, more side is a wider image.
