Microphone

Placement

Aim the microphone toward the desired source, such as the

talker.

•

Aim it away from any unwanted source, such as a

loudspeaker.

• Place

the microphone within 15 to 30cm

(6

to 12 in.) of the desired sound source.

• Always use the supplied

windscreen or

optional metal

windscreen to

control

breath noise.

• If four or more microphones

will

be open at the same time, use of an automatic

mixer, such as the Shure

SCM810

or

SCM410, is recommended.
