608

The super-cardioid 608 is a dynamic microphone ideal

for almost invisible clip-miking of drums, percussions,

brass and woodwind (except certain flutes). The goose-

neck mounting enables the capsule to be positioned close

to the signal source for high realism and high-level

output.

Extensive damping and shock mounting isolates the

capsule and signal from extraneous vibrations, impact and

handling noise

. The humbucking coil protects against

electromagnetic interference.

Features

Rugged reinforced glass-fibre body

Shock-mounted capsule provides low sensitivity to

impact and handling noise

Humbucking coil

Extremely robust connection cable with XLR-

plug

Positioning the microphone

Wind instruments

To reduce ambient noise (at the expense of the true

“Saxophone sound”) direct the microphone into the bell.

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. 120°; see polar diagram).

For a Saxophone, the

microphone should

normally be directed

partly towards the

bell and partly

towards the body of

the instument.
