Clear, powerful sound Balanced, natural sound For a Saxophone, the microphone should normally be directed partly towards the bell and partly towards the body of the instument. To reduce ambient noise (at the expense of the true "Saxophone sound") direct the microphone into the bell. In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 120°; see polar diagram). 4 Polar diagram ° 30° 5 10 60° 15 20 25 90° dB 90° 60° 30° 120° 120° 150° 150° 180° 125 250 500 1000 Hz Hz Hz Hz 2000 4000 8000 16000 Hz Hz Hz Hz Frequency response curve dBv - 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 - 90 20 50 100 200 500 1000 2000 5000 10000 20000 Hz 0°, 1 m 0°, 5 cm 5 Specifications Transducer principle Frequency response Pick-up pattern Sensitivity (free field, no load) (at 1 kHz) Nominal impedance (at 1 kHz) Min. terminating impedance Connector Connection cable Dimensions Weight dynamic 40. . . . . 16, 000 Hz super-cardioid 0. 8 mV/Pa 250 1 k XLR-3 3 m, with XLR-plug Ø 17 x 185 mm 20 g Pin assignment of XLR-3 connector + + 2 3 1 1 3 2 + + 2 3 1 XLR XLR XLR 6 Overview of microphone applications Variant Application Vocals Choirs Studio, acoustic instruments Orchestra Brass / Saxophone Acoustic guitar Acoustic bass Guitar amplifiers Bass amplifiers Leslie Piano, grand piano Kick drums Snare drums Rack toms Floor toms Congas Cymbals Percussion Overheads x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x e602-II e604 e606 e608 e614 e815 e825 e835 e840 x e845 x x x x e865 x 7 Manufacturer declarations Warranty 2 years Approval Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co.
