User manual AKG D 550

[. . . ] Built-in windscreen/pop filter for effective suppression of pop and breath noise. Stubs for floor stands allow you to place the microphone at the optimum position in front of the bass drum or a bass amp. the frequency independent cardioid pickup pattern of the D 550 ensures high gain before feedback. The D 550 is fitted with a shock absorbing inner grille that protects the transducer against damage. [. . . ] Plug the other connector on the microphone cable into the desired microphone input jack on your mixer or amplifier. The best way to get the "right" sound is to experiment with microphone placement. the following sections contain useful suggestions. Please note that moving the microphone closer to the instrument will boost the bass range. In order to capture the entire frequency spectrum of the trombone, direct the microphone toward the lower rim of the bell. the optimum working distance is 12 to 20 inches. On stage, you may have to move as close as 2 inches to the microphone in order to avoid getting feedback or spillover from other instruments. In this situation, make sure not to blow right into the microphone. If you get too much blowing noise, use an extra windscreen, e. In order to optimally capture all the frequencies emitted by the tuba, aim the microphone at the perimeter of the bell from above. optimum working distance is 12 to 20 inches. On stage, you may have to move the microphone closer to the instrument (as close as 2 inches) in order to prevent feedback or spillover from other instruments. In this situation, take extra care not to blow right into the microphone. If you get too much blowing noise, use an additional external windscreen, e. Loudspeakers radiate high frequencies within a very narrow angle. Place the microphone about 2 to 6 inches in front of the loudspeaker diaphragm and aim the microphone at the center of the diaphragm. The microphone will capture the entire frequency range and thus the pristine combined sound of the instrument and amplifier. You may mount the microphone on the boom of a floor stand and align it as described above. [. . . ] To clean the microphone case, use a soft cloth moistened with water.
