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.

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).
