Knowing your microphone
Superlux provides variety selection of microphones for professionals and amatures. To
know your microphone is the first step to successful result.
Type of transducer
Dynamics
Durable and simple structure, operates in all kinds of environments. A good dynamic
microphone is capable to operate at very high sound pressure level without distortion.
Due to structure limit, dynamics cannot be built as small as condenser, but dynamics
doesn require power to operate.
About Frequency Response
Flat
Suitable for working at controlled environment, or for acoustic measurements.
Although people persuit flatness, but for none-professionals, it is a challenge to makes
it works as expectation.
Using a handheld microphone
For best s ignal to noise ratio, distance from t he handhe ld microphone to the sound source
shall be as short as possible.
For higher gain before feedback and lowest background noi se, the mic rophone shall be
pointed directly to the sound source. (refer t o the illustra tion be low) The sensitivity of a super
cardioid microp hone is hi ghest on a xis and lowest at 120 to 135 degrees.
To avoid int erference between multiple microphon es, each sound source sh all be picked-up
by one microphone, use as less microphones as possible in one space, or turn-on as less
microphones as p ossibl e at the sam e time.
To reduce crosstalk between microphones, an 1:3 guide line shall be follow: The distance
between microphone A to the sound source A is “ 1” , the distance between any other
microphone to th e sound so urce A shal l be more than 3 times.
When the (super) cardioid microphone get closer to the sound source, the low frequency
response is boosted, as so ca ll “ proximity effect” . Exp erience sin ger t akes advantages of
the proximity effect to i mprove the richness of h is/her voice or to increase the bass o f the
instrument as if an extre mely h igh quality equalizer is used. Same i dea to reduce the bass b y
increase the dis tance to re duce the bass when needed.
Reflec ting surface affect sound as well . Beware of the se surfaces such as wall, table, o r floor.
Place t he micro phone away from the hard su rfaces o r directly contact these surfaces to form a
pressure zone mic rophone .
When using the microphone ou tdoor or in windy environment, a dditional foam wind screen
helps to reduce wi nd noise .
Keep g rill p op scre en cle an to a void d egradi ng the sound quality. Do not expose the
microphone at hi gh humid ity/temperature environment to avoid damage.

Popular curve response
Based on years of practical experience of pro users. There are curves to be build for
various applications, so that it is very simple to use the microphone for the purpose.
HM6
Table sta nd
Limiting bandwidth, and emphasing are typical skill.
Variable response
Incorporating switchable filters to elliminates interference, such as sub-sonic filter to
cut air-conditioner and floor vibrations. And allows full flat when used in controlled
environment.
Directivity
Super Cardioid
Narrower than cardioid pattern. Suitable for multiple microphone setup. Least sensitive
angle pointing toward side to rear where most stage monitors are located. Same
proximity effect as cardioid microphone.

Mounting the microphone
Pressure gradient microphone is very sensitive to vibration. Suitable shock mount for
high performance microphone is necessary for extreme low noise recording. Sturdy
stand can set the microphone excatly at the sweet spot and keep it there. Choose heavy
duty microphone stand for studio condenser microphone which weights much more
than handle microphone.
Superlux provides wide range of microphone stands for various demands. Big Foot
Willie is specially developed for large condenser microphones that able to support 2
large microphones with stereo bracket for single point stereo recording.
Extension foot on all the 'E' versions serve to mount heavy studio microphone in limit
space live sound applications.
Maintainence
Condenser microphone shall be kept in low humidity environment for best sound
performance. Store the condenser microphones in airconditioned room or dehumidifier
to keep away form moisture. Clean air is another important factor. Keep away from
smoking environment to avoid tar residuals.
