[. . . ] The minimal proximity effect provides for consistently clear bass-end performance when singing closer to, or further from the microphone. The cardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent feedback rejection and good isolation from incidental rear noise. The rugged metal construction and internal damping isolates handling noise. 1 Features Rugged metal body Shock-mounted capsule Frequency-independent directivity Exceptional feedback rejection Excellent vocal projection Humbucking coil Delivery includes 838 microphone MZQ 800 microphone clamp Pouch Instructions for use Warranty Certificate 2 Pin assignment of XLR-3 connector + + 2 3 1 1 3 2 + + 2 3 1 XLR XLR XLR + 1 3 2 + XLR + 1 3 2 6, 3 mm + XLR balanced symmetrisch 6, 3 mm Removing the sound inlet basket 3 Positioning the microphone Position Resulting sound High proximity effect (much bass/ fundamental) Powerful, direct sound Less proximity effect (less bass/fundamental) Some room ambience, natural, balanced sound Very little proximity effect (little bass/ fundamental) More room ambience, indirect sound Much crosstalk from other sound sources More crosstalk from other sound sources Commentary Very little crosstalk from other sound sources If sibilance or "popping" occurs, position the microphone not directly in front of the mouth but slightly to the side. In order to prevent feedback, position monitor loudspeakers so that they are located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone. 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. 150°; 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 5 Specifications Transducer principle Frequency response Pick-up pattern Sensitivity (free field, no load at 1 kHz) Nominal impedance Min.
