Introduction

All the d:fine

Headset Microphones provide a uniquely natural and open sound.

Ultra-lightweight and adjustable, d:fine

Headset Mics ensure a secure and

comfortable fit in live performance environments. To ensure optimal performance

of your d:fine Headset Mic, please follow the simple instructions below.

Placement of microphone

For discreet placement, you can bend the microphone boom slightly so that the cap-

sule is as close to the cheek as possible. Do not hold the capsule while bending; bend

the wire boom, making a smooth

curve with your thumb to best fit

the profile of the face.

Mount a directional mic 2 – 3

cm (1 in) from the corner of the

mouth to ensure optimal sound

quality compared to an omnidi-

rectional mic that can be placed

further away from the mouth.

Omnidirectional characteristics

• The microphone is sensitive to sound from all directions.

• The sound remains more or less the same regardless of

the distance between the sound source and the microphone.

• The positioning of microphones with omnidirectional

characteristics is less critical than with directional.

• An omnidirectional microphone is generally not very

sensitive to wind, breathing and handling noises.

Directional characteristics

• Rejects background noise and creates higher separation.

• The microphone is most sensitive to sound on the side of the chevron.

• The positioning of mics with directional characteristics is essential

as the low frequency level will change according to the distance to the mouth.

Choose a distance which yields the desired amount of bass.

• Care should be taken to protect against wind and pop noise e.g. by using

a windsceen.
