An extended dynamic range and a well balanced frequency response deliver an outstanding signal quality with excellent projection and the lowest possible distortion. [. . . ] Alternatively, they can be used with any evolution bodypack transmitter for wireless applications. Extensive damping and shock mounting isolates the capsules from extraneous vibrations, impact and handling noise. The long, flexible goosenecks enable the mics to be optimally positioned on the instrument. 3 Features Exceptionally vivid, clear sound Optimum positioning on the instrument due to flexible gooseneck Shock-mounted capsule provides low sensitivity to impact and handling noise Rugged metal body Extremely robust connection cable Can optionally be used with any evolution bodypack transmitter or the MZA 900 P phantom power adaptor Delivery includes 908 D 908 B 908 B ew / 908 T ew 908 B ew microphone / 908 T ew microphone -- 908 D microphone 908 B microphone MZA 900 P phantom power adaptor MZH 908 D microphone clamp Pouch Instructions for use Warranty Certificate MZA 900 P phantom power adaptor MZH 908 B microphone clamp Pouch Instructions for use MZH 908 B microphone clamp Pouch Instructions for use Warranty Certificate Warranty Certificate 4 Positioning the microphone Wind instruments ( 908 B / Position 908 B ew / 908 T ew) Resulting sound Reduced ambient noise Commentary Use the MZH 908 B clamp to attach the microphone to the bell of the instrument. To reduce ambient noise (at the expense of the true "Saxophone sound") direct the microphone into the bell (as illustrated). For a Saxophone, the microphone should normally be directed partly towards the bell and partly towards the body of the instument. Clear, powerful sound Balanced, natural sound 5 Drums / Percussions ( 908 D) Position Resulting sound More fundamental, little overtones Commentary Position on the drum: 3­5 cm above the drumskin, directed towards the center of the drumskin, the fundamental to overtones ratio can be adjusted by changing the angle of the microphone. The most balanced results are obtained at an angle of 30­60°. Optional: tangential position of the gooseneck in order to reduce the distance to the drumskin. Less fundamental, many overtones Pronounced proximity effect 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. 180°; see polar diagram). 6 Attaching the drum clamp to the drum Drums / Percussions ( 908 D) Position Commentary To attach the MZH 908 D drum clamp, snap it onto the rim of the drum as follows: Put the upper part of the clip (1) onto the rim and clip on by pushing down in a rotating action (2) until it clips into place. 1 2 Attaching the microphone to the drum clamp Drums / Percussions ( 908 D) Position Commentary To attach the microphone to the drum clamp: Loosen the knurled screw. Insert the gooseneck of the microphone from the side into one of the two slots and tighten the knurled screw. You can attach two microphones to the drum clamp (e. g.
