3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE.

We have developed the CM 65 in such a way that fits the most varied conditions for picking up

sound. Below just a few examples:

Voice in radio studio

Voice in TV Studios, e.g. News desks

Sports Commentary, for audio-codecs and commentary positions

Voice for ENG and outdoor reporting

Song on stage and in studio

Acoustic guitar

Wind instruments

Drum-sets and cymbals

Woodblocks and Cajón

Voice in radio studio and TV Studios, e.g. News desks.

In these working environments we are normally working at distances between 20 and 40 cm.

from the mouth of each speaker. The cardioid polar pattern of the CM65 provides a good

discrimination between speakers even if these are not regular speakers to or well trained talents

and do not speak straight into the microphone.

The human voice is very complex and with a microphone with an ample response, we are able

to recognise the timbre or "signature" of each voice. There are syllables that with its harmonics

reach the octave of 8-16 kHz, while others are presenting frequencies in the octave form 63 to

125 Hz. These can cause unwanted effects of pops and wind that this microphone can correct.

Use normally in the position "0

". If you notice buzzing background noise, air conditioning,

computers, vibrations or pops caused by the voice, try position "0

" that provides a 100 Hz

filter.

Sports Commentary, for audio-codecs and commentary positions.

In such environments, and if it is a static position in a commentary booth, the microphone is

normally positioned between 20 and 40 cm. from the mouth of each commentator. The cardioid

polar pattern of the CM65 provides a good discrimination between the commentators even if

these are no regular or well trained commentators and do not speak straight into the

microphone.

Since this situation is not exactly a studio situation, it is normal to appreciate ambient noise and

hum. Try position "0

" that provides a 100 Hz filter.

If the environment is very noisy, you can try position "-14

" and position "-14

" and

move the microphone closer to the mouth in both cases.

If your commentary position is not an enclosed booth and the microphones' internal windscreen

doesn't fully eliminate noise produced by wind, it would be recommended to fit an additional

external windscreen to the microphone.

Voice for ENG and outdoor reporting.

In these situations it is normal to appreciate ambient noise and hum. Try position "0

" that

provides a 100 Hz filter.

If the environment is very noisy, you can try position "-14

" and position "-14

" and in

both cases move the microphone closer to the mouth.

Use a foam windscreen if you notice that the built-in windscreen of the microphone does not

eliminate wind noise.
