Recommendations and tips
... for the ME 2 and ME 4 clip-on microphones
$ To reduce level variations to a minimum when the user turns his or her
head away from the microphone, attach the microphone as centrally as
possible.
$ To protect the microphone against excessive sweat/moisture, avoid direct
skin contact.
$ Attach the microphone carefully and conduct the cable such that noise
due to friction is avoided.
$ Always use the ME 4 directional microphone with a windshield and direct
the microphone towards the sound source (e.g. mouth).
... for the ME 3 headmic
$ Always use the microphone with a popshield and position the microphone
at the corner of the mouth.
$ You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the talking
distance.
$ Make sure that the sound inlet is directed towards the mouth. The sound
inlet is marked with a little dot.
... for the SK 100 pocket transmitter
$ Make sure that the antenna and the microphone cable do not cross.
$ The antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the
body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.
$ For best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly
adjusted.
... for the SKM 100 hand-held transmitter
$ Hold the SKM 100 hand-held transmitter in the middle of the microphone
body. Holding it close to the sound inlet basket will influence the
microphone’s pick-up pattern, holding it at the lower part of the body
will reduce the transmitter’s range.
$ You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the talking
distance.
$ For best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly
adjusted.
... for the EK 100 receiver
$ The antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the
body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin. If the
receiver is mounted onto a camera, we recommend using the A 17 helical
antenna.
