The 606 is a dynamic microphone with
pick-up pattern
miking guitars amps. The lightweight voice coil
construction and rigid dome provide an extended high
frequency performance.
Its laterally mounted capsule has been specially
developed for miking guitars amps face-on and and
extremely close to the signal source. The super-cardioid
pick-up pattern provides good isolation from other onstage signals.
Due to its flat design, the 606 is easy to position.

turn the microphone by
approx. 30° towards
the edge.
Microphone directed
towards the edge of
the loudspeaker.
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. 135°; see polar diagram)
