Sennheiser SpeechLine – T rue to the word
The spoken word remains the most personal and powerful tool in
communication. It enables us to convey and exchange messages, thoughts
and opinions, as well as emotions. Therefore, when using technical devices
like microphones, it is most important that no content is lost or
misunderstood.
The best microphone is one you don‘t have to think about while speaking,
because it fully captures your voice and picks up your words as precisely as
you form them. Easy operation a nd cl ear speech intelligibility are perhaps
most popularly embodied in the characteristically shaped Sennheiser ME
36, which can be seen on virtually every TV news program.
The qualities of these iconic microphones can also b e found in all other
microphones of the versatile Sennheiser SpeechLine series. These qualities
are also built into any microphone of the versatile Sennheiser SpeechLine
portfolio.
Wired or wireless, digital or analog , this comprehensive range of easy t o
integrate and unobtrusively designed microphones offer a solution for just
about any situation, including yours.
In many applications, a speech microphone can help to increase the speech
intelligibility or even make it possible in the first place (as in
teleconferences). The following chapters describe the most common
applications.
Typical applications
A) Conferences (voice lift)
The larger the room, the more helpful is an au
the speech intelligibility. Especially in large conference rooms, a speaker
seated at one end is difficult to understand at the other end. Table or
ceiling microphones can be used to pick up what the speaker says. The
audio signal can then be spread evenly around the room using wall or
ceiling loudspeakers. This application is also known as “voice lift”, i.e. the
speech is amplified in the room.
B) Teleconferences
e participants of a conference are seated in dif
If th
to be connected via telephone or remote conference circuit. As a telephone
alone can only offer inadequate sp eech tr ansmissi on for all part icipants in
the room, table or ceiling microphones should be used in this case too.
These are connected to a telephone conference unit such as the Sennheiser
TeamConnect system. This processes the signals and establishes the
connection to the remote participant.
Presentations
C)
ecially in a presentation, in which the focus is on the transmission of
Esp
ent, it is important to understand every word. Here, too, the larger the
cont
room, the more necessary it is to amplify the voice. In this case, gooseneck
microphones offer the speaker orientation and enhance his presentation.

Suspending a microphone from the ceiling i
s another alternative. It has the
advantage that the microphones can be installed virtually invisibly in the
room. Ceiling installation requires precise prior planning, as the
microphones are further away from the speaker and the speech
intelligibility can be impaired by noise coming from the ventilator of a
projector or from an air conditioning unit.
C) Lectern
A lectern is usually used for presentati
ons. Here, too, the microphon es c an
be positioned temporarily or installed permanently. A gooseneck
microphone positions the microphone capsule close to the speaker, thus
ensuring maximum speech intelligibility. Flexi ble gooseneck microphones
prevent conflicts with laptops because they can be oriented flexibly.
D) Floor
For spontaneous presentations or panel dis
cussions, floor stands provide a
solid base for a gooseneck microphone.

Pick-up patterns of the microphones
Omni-directional pick-up pattern
An omni-directional pattern picks up the sound uniformly from all
directions.
Cardioid pick-up pattern
A cardioid pattern has a wide directional characteristic, i.e. a wide
opening angle. Sound hitting the rear of the microphone is
attenuated very strongly.
ME 34
MEG 14-40
Super-cardioid pick-up pattern
A super-cardioid pattern has a slightly stronger directional
characteristic than the cardioid pattern, so it suppresses noise
coming from the side even more strongly but also picks up some
of the sound coming from the rear.
Super-cardioid | lobar pick-up pattern
A super-cardioid or lobar pattern has the s tr ongest directional
characteristic, i.e. it provides the maximum suppression of sound
coming from the side, but it also picks up sound coming from the
rear. However, the ratio is lower than it is with the super-cardioid
pattern.
Positioning the microphones
A) Distance from the speaker
Basically, the nearer a speaker is to the microphone, the higher the speech
ligibility. For this reason, gooseneck microphones are optimal from an
intel
acoustic point of view. They position the microphone capsule close to the
speaker while offering excellent orientation.
Boundary layer microphones do not achieve the excellent acoustic
characteristics of gooseneck microphones, but they can be positioned
especially unobtrusively. These microphones can be integrated into any
room due to their small size and the colors they are available in. As a result
of the so-called boundary layer effect, the signal picked up by the
microphone capsule is amplified on a surface (for example a table or a
ceiling panel). In this way, part of the distance to the speaker can be
compensated for again.
6 | SpeechLine IS microphone series
B) One microphone for each speaker
In the ideal case, a dedicated microphone is used for each speake
r. This
allows the best possible orientation and distance to the speaker to be
ensured at all times. It is also possible to choose a narrower directional
characteristic. This allows noise coming from the side as well as acoustic
reflections to be minimized, resulting in the highest speech intelligibility.
C) “Shared microphones” - several sp
One microphone per speaker is ideal, but
eakers share one microphone
one microphone shared by two
speakers is often adequate for many applications. A microphone with a
sufficiently wide opening angle should be selected here. Th e microphone
can thus pick up both speakers if installed centrally before them.
Depending on the configuration of the tables in a room, different
icrophones can be selected. In the case of a small round table, for
m
example, a microphone with an omni-directional pick-up pattern (shown
as a blue circle) is adequate to pick up all participants uniformly.
Directional microphones (shown as a semicircle) are suitable for rows of
tables. These microphones minimize the sound coming from the rear and
the sides. In oblong conference rooms with long tables, a combination of
directional and omni-directional microphones can be a good solution.
E) Speaker is seated
For conferences in which the speakers ar

measure. Here, the microphone is simply placed on the table and oriented
towards the speaker.
e seated, planning is easy as the
F) Speaker is standing
In the case of presentations held at a
standing position. Here, the distance between lectern and mouth is
virtually as large as it is with a seated speaker. In courtrooms, the speakers
frequently stand up although the table in front of them is often of
“normal” height. In this case, long gooseneck microphones should be used
ideally in order to reduce the distance between the microphone capsule
and the speaker.

Typical acoustic situations
A) Normally attenuated room
A normally attenuated room provides an average attenuation of
reflecti
ceilings. In the case of reduced reflections in the room, microphones pick
up less noise, which results in the highest speech intelligibility.
B) Room with amplified sound
If the speech in the room is amplified by
the microphone again. This can cause echo, but in the worst case acoustic
feedback can be the result. The effect can be reduced by using
microphones with stronger directional characteristics.
C) Large rooms with echo – acoustically challenging rooms

loudspeakers, this signal can enter
The larger the room, the more probable i
reflections or sound coming from loudspeakers. If the room also has many
smooth surfaces such as glass fronts or smooth floors, the result is a
scenario which is extremely unfavorable acoustically. In this case, only
microphones with strong directional characteristics like the ME 36 can
ensure speech intelligibility.

Connecting products via the logic function
Once you have established the audio connection (see previous chapter),
you can connect the products of the IS microphone series featuring a logic
port (shown on the left) to the DSP.
The logic port passes on status information on the microphone button
(microphone button pressed/not pressed) to the DSP. Via th e logi c outp ut
of the DSP, you can additionally control the status of the signal light ring
of the microphone button.
The logic output also allows you to integrate and control several MAS 133
inline switch boxes in a system.
The following chapters provide
A) information on how to connect the MAS 13
B) information on how to connect microphones
C) a n example installation for the Se

Adjusting the microphone sensitivity
왘 Use the mixing console, the auto mixer or the DSP to adjust the
microphone sensitivity so that over- or under-modulation is avoided.
For more information on the audio settings, refer to the instruction
manual of the corresponding device.
If interference occurs at high field strengths, remove the source of
interference from the microphone.

directly set the behavior of the microphone button.
왘 Set the slide switch to the desired position.
PositionFunction
ON/OFF:
When you press the microphone button, the microphone is:
– activated (lights up green) or
– muted (lights up red).
PTM – Push To Mute:
The microphone is activated, the microphone button lights up
green. The microphone button will light up red and the
microphone will be muted for as long as you keep the
microphone button pressed.
PTT – Push To Talk:
The microphone is muted, the microphone button lights up
red. The microphone button will light up green and the
microphone will be activated for as long as you keep the
microphone button pressed.
ON:
•Protection against accidental operation: The microphone
is permanently activated. This setting prevents
interruptions due to accidental operation of the
microphone button.
•DSP remote mode: The microphone is connected to a DSP
via a logic port. In this case, the functions ON, OFF, PTT and
PTM can be performed by the DSP.

Activating/muting microphones
The products shown on the left have LEDs that indicate whether the
microphone is muted or activated. The LEDs light up as soon as the
products are powered via the mixing console, the auto mixer or the DSP.
Whether a microphone is permanently activated or muted or whether it
can be activated or muted by pressing the microphone button depends on
the setting of the slide switch that sets the behavior of the microphone
button (see page 32). When the slide switch is set to ON, the microphone
permanently activated and the microphone button is deactivated.
