838

The 838 has been engineered for the vocalist that

needs the vocals to cut through the band. Due to its

excellent acoustic properties, the 838 delivers a high

signal output to cut through high on-stage sound levels

with ease. A gentle presence boost to even tonal

response ensures vocal clarity and projection.

The balanced frequency response maintains signal

quality when moving on and off axis during performance.

The minimal proximity effect provides for consistently

clear bass-end performance when singing closer to, or

further from the microphone.

The cardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent feedback

rejection and good isolation from incidental rear noise.

The rugged metal construction and internal damping

isolates handling noise.

Positioning the microphone

If sibilance or “popping” occurs, position the microphone

not directly in front of the mouth but slightly to the side.

In order to prevent feedback, position monitor loud-

speakers so that they are located in the angle area of the

highest cancellation of the microphone.

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. 150°; see polar diagram).
