Installation
Attaching the microphone
Carefully bend the flexible goose neck.
Installation
Connecting the microphone

Operation
Operation
Positioning the microphone e 908 B/e 908 B ew on a wind instrument
Use the microphone clamp to attach the e 908 to the bell of the instrument.
It is vital to observe the following notes:
Position Resulting sound Commentary
A Reduced ambient noise Directed into the bell of the instrument.
B Clear, powerful sound
C Balanced, natural sound Directed partly towards the bell and partly towards
the body of the instrument.
A B C
Positioning the microphone e 908 D on a drum
Attach the drum clamp to the rim of the drum by putting the upper part of the clip onto the rim
and clipping it on by pushing down the drum clamp in a rotating action until it snaps into place.
Loosen the knurled screw.
Insert the gooseneck from the side into one of the two slots.
Tighten the knurled screw.
It is vital to observe the following notes:
Position Resulting sound Commentary
D More fundamental
Little overtones
E Less fundamental
Many overtones
F Pronounced proximity effect Optional: tangential position of the gooseneck in
Position on the drum: 3–5 cm above the drumskin,
directed towards the center of the drumskin, the
fundamental to overtones ratio can be adjusted by
changing the angle of the microphone.
The most balanced results are obtained at an angle
of 30–60°.
order to reduce the distance to the drumskin.
D E F
You can attach two microphones to the drum clamp (e.g. for picking up two toms in cramped space
conditions). To do so, use both slots of the drum clamp.
The various adjustment possibilities of the MZH 908 D and MZH 908 B clamps together with the
flexible gooseneck enable the microphone to be optimally positioned on the sound source.

Cleaning and maintaining the e 908
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°).
