Adjusting the pick-up pattern

(cardioid/super-cardioid)

The 965 offers the possibility to adjust the pick-up pattern to fit

the application.

Cardioid is the most commonly used pick-up pattern for live PA

applications. It provides good on-stage freedom and also picks up

sound from the sides. The “dead” side is at the rear. This pattern

is good for picking up several vocalists at once, e.g. a choir or

ensemble.

Super-cardioid is particularly sensitive to sound coming from the

front and reduces pickup from the sides. This pattern is therefore

best for picking up an individual sound source in a noisy

environment. Crosstalk from other instruments on stage is

drastically reduced. Select the super-cardioid pick-up pattern to

ensure maximum vocal projection even with very loud on-stage

levels.

왘Use the directivity switch 

to select the desired setting:

: cardioid

: super-cardioid

Notes:

In order to prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your

monitor loudspeakers in the angle area of the highest

cancellation of the microphone (cardioid: 180°; super-cardioid:

135°).
