835 fx

The 835 fx is a cardioid lead vocal stage microphone spe­cially designed to perform under pressure.
Its balanced frequency response maintains signal quality when moving on and off axis during performance. The gentle presence boost ensures vocal clarity and projection. 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, enabling the microphone to handle higher sound pressure levels. The rugged metal construction and internal damping isolates handling noise.

Positioning the microphone

Position Resulting sound Commentary
High proximity effect (much bass/fundamental)
Powerful, direct sound
Very little crosstalk from other sound sources
Less proximity effect (less bass/fundamental)
Some room ambience, natural, balanced sound
Very little proximity effect (little bass/fundamental)
More room ambience, indirect sound
More crosstalk from other sound sources
Much crosstalk from other sound sources
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. 180°; see polar diagram).
