Installation

Attaching the microphone

Screw the microphone clamp to a stand.

Place the microphone with its back end into the microphone clamp.

Orient the microphone together with the microphone clamp.

Connecting the microphone

Connect the XLR-3 socket of the microphone cable (optional accessories) to the XLR-3 socket of

the microphone.

Using the windshield

Place the MZW 64 (optional accessories) windshield over the microphone head.

Operation

Positioning the microphone: Drums / Percussions

Attention: When closing the hi-hat, a strong air current is created on the edge. If the microphone is

positioned too close to the edge, interfering noise due to the air current can occur.

It is vital to observe the following notes:

Pos. Commentary

A Position the microphone a few centimetres above the outer edge of the hi-hat

aiming down. If necessary, remove unwanted low-frequency signal portions by high

pass ﬁltering.

B Good starting position for live miking applications. If the overhead microphones are

only used for picking up the cymbals, unwanted signal portions can be attenuated

by high pass ﬁltering.

A B

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 can-

cellation of the microphone (approx. 180°, see polar diagram).

Positioning the monitor loudspeakers

To prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your monitor loudspeakers in the angle area of the

highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 180°).

Operation

Sensitivity and bass ﬁlter

The e 914 is equipped with a three-position sensitivity switch and a bass ﬁlter switch.

Adjusting the sensitivity

The microphone sensitvity can remain unchanged (0) or be reduced by 10 dB or 20 dB. The latter is

recommended when there is a risk that the microphone or subsequent microphone input is overmo-

dulated, e.g. due to high sound pressure levels from drums, brass instruments, etc.

We recommend that you mute the corresponding microphone channel on the mixing console

before connecting and disconnecting the microphone cable, switching on and off the phantom

powering or setting the switches (see ﬁgure above).

-20 dB

Adjusting the bass ﬁlter

The e 914 has been designed for an extended low-frequency bass response. With certain live or

close instrument miking applications, an over-emphasis of the low frequencies can occur. This can

be compensated for by the 6 dB/octave roll-off ﬁlter. The cut-off ﬁlter reduces low-frequency wind

noise by 18 dB/octave.
