Altar or lectern:

greater gain reserves
in contrast to free-
standing microphones

Conference rooms:
lying on the table;

Less room resonance
in contrast to free-
standing microphones
Microphones must
not be covered by
papers, folders or
similar objects
14
*) 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

system or for
monitoring purposes
in the theater
cloakrooms
Less room resonance

standing
microphones;

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;

chosen
Instrument is easy
to mike, even
when the cover is
closed;
