quickly,
Your selection of a Shure UNISPHERE~ Cardioid Microphone will contribute significantly to the professional
quality of your performance. This ball-type microphone
has a wire-mesh screen with a special filter which provides
protection from wind, blast and “pop” (explosive breath
sounds). This feature allows you to work as close to the
as
microphone
you wish, either indoors or out-of-doors.
Another feature of your unidirectional microphone is
that it effectively controls feedback (that very annoying
loudspeaker “squeal”) because it picks up sound only from
of
the front
the microphone. Unwanted audience noise or
other noises occurring at the rear of the microphone are
you
to
eliminated or suppressed. This allows
work at significantly greater distances from your microphone than
with non-directional (omnidirectional) microphones, without picking up objectionable background sound or feedback.
(See inside for information
on
how
to
use your
Shure Microphone more effectively.)
HOW TO CONTROL FEEDBACK
A performer’s number one enemy in using a microphone is
“feedback.” This is a harsh hum, howl
curs when the microphone picks up sound from the
loudspeakers, re-amplifies and rebroadcasts it over and
over again.
The key factor in the prevention of feedback is the position of the loudspeakers in relation to the microphone.
Feedback occurs
from the loudspeakers. Keep the loudspeakers as far to the
sides as possible-so they do not point toward the microphone. Always keep the microphone pointed toward the
performer and away from the loudspeakers. When stage
monitor loudspeakers are used, make sure they are positioned in front of the performers and face the rear of the
microphone.
If you are in a room with hard walls, floor, and ceiling,
the sound from the lolidspeakers may bounce back into the
microphone and create feedback. Solve this problem by
turning down the amplifier volume control and working
closer to the microphone.
(Important Note: If you cannot
lem with your
Feedback Controller is suggested.)
BASIC POINTS FOR PROFESSIONAL
MICROPHONE TECHNIQUE
Proper microphone technique will add to the overall effectiveness with which you project yourself to your
audience. Keep the following points in mind when using
the microphone:
1.
Maintain the proper distance from the microphone.
When you wish to achieve an intimate tonal quality,
get closer to the microphone and lower your voice. For
wide-open “driving” effects, raise your voice and back
away from the microphone
drive your amplifier to distortion.
2.
Don’t change your distance from the microphone
needlessly, as this will affect the level of sound coming
from the loudspeakers.
3.
Consider the microphone as an instrument and practice your technique to enhance your performance.

amplifier input being used?
2.
Check microphone cable connectors to microphone,
mixer and amplifier-are they tightly plugged in?
3.
Check microphone, amplifier and/or mixer.
a. Are they turned on?
