Positioning the microphone

Boundary microphones make use of the pressure effects

at a room boundary and need to be mounted on a flat sur-

face:

Position Resulting sound Commentary

Altar or lectern:

on a sound-reflecting

surface

Less room resonance

portions or comb filter

elements;

improved speech

intelligibility and

greater gain reserves

in contrast to free-

standing microphones

Unobtrusive due to

flat design;

no microphones in

the field of vision

Conference rooms:

lying on the table;

directed towards the

conference

participants *)

Less room resonance

in contrast to free-

standing microphones

Microphones must

not be covered by

papers, folders or

similar objects

e 912_511961_1205_Sp6.book Seite 5 Freitag, 24. März 2006 3:05 15

*) The cardioid pick-up pattern has an opening angle of

approx. 130°. Try to position the microphone so that the

sound source (conference participant, speaker or

instrument) is located in this angle area (see polar

diagram).

Theater stages:

lying at the edge of

the stage and

directed towards the

stage; as spot

microphone of the PA

system or for

monitoring purposes

in the theater

cloakrooms

Less room resonance

in contrast to free-

standing

microphones;

improved speech

intelligibility

Excellent rejection

of rumble noise; if

necessary, place

the microphone on

a soft pad (e.g.

mousepad).

If necessary,

combine with

overhead micro-

phones (e.g.

Sennheiser ME 36

with MZH 30 B &

MZC 30)

Grand piano / piano:

mounted to the

inside cover (=

sound-reflecting

surface) of the piano

or lying in the

instrument or on the

floor underneath the

piano

Very transparent and

powerful sound;

stereo sound image

can be shaped

individually,

depending on

microphone position

chosen

Instrument is easy

to mike, even

when the cover is

closed;

excellent

protection against

crosstalk into

other microphone

channels and

reduced volume on

stage
