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 micro-

phone. Good choice for untrained personnel.

• The positioning of microphones with omnidirectional

characteristics is less critical than with directional.

• An omnidirectional microphone is generally not very sensi-

tive 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 microphones with directional characteristics is es-

sential, 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.

The directional characteristics of the microphone is indicated on the

microphone head with for omnidirectional and for directional.

This marking should always point towards the mouth.

Protection grid

A protection grid is mounted over the microphone head. If clogged with

dirt or make-up, gently remove it and clean it with water. Always leave

the protection grid on the microphone, as it protects the inner grid and

offers protection against wind and breathing noise. The protection grid

is replaceable.

Windscreens

The enclosed windscreens offer additional protection against wind and

pop noise. Gently draw the windscreen over the microphone head. For

even better protection, bigger windscreens are available.
