7496_04_Fulline_E4_fsch 29.06.2004 13:22 Uhr Seite 213 GLOSSARY Antenna Cable Cable specifically designed for RF signals. Used for connecting a remote antenna to a receiver. Antenna cables are typically coaxial and symmetrical. Signal attenuation depends on the frequency band of the signal as well as the length and quality of the cable and is quoted for a 100-m run of cable. Antenna Splitter Electronic network specifically designed for RF signals.

Current consumption of the phantom circuit is negligible (about 1 mA per mic) (see fig. 2). Replace the input jacks with XLR sockets if possible. While stereo jacks will work as well, there may be a risk of mistaking them for send/returns or the like (see fig. 3).

Instead, a special metalized plastic “electret foil”, in which a permanent electrical charge has been stored by application of heat and a high polarizing voltage, is used either for the diaphragm or the fixed electrode. The latter type is called “back plate electret microphone”.
7496_04_Fulline_E4_fsch 29.06.2004 13:22 Uhr Seite 217 GLOSSARY Hum Sensitivity Magnetic fields from amplifiers, long power cables, and lighting systems in particular may induce hum in microphones. A microphone's hum sensitivity gives an indication of how susceptible it is to this kind of interference. Values are 3 µV/5 µT for dynamic microphones with hum suppression coil, 30 µV/5 µT for dynamics with no suppression coil (D 90, D 95, D 190), and up to 10 µV/5 µT for condenser microphones.

Hypercardioid Phantom Power to IEC 2681 5/DIN 45596 Condenser microphones require an operating voltage. It can be fed to the microphone either by a-b powering or phantom powering. In a-b powering, the operating voltage is fed to the balanced audio wires without using the shield.

At 150° off-axis, the sensitivity is 17 dB down (referenced to 0°) at 125 Hz (solid line), and 10 dB down at 8 kHz (dashdotted line, right-hand half). 150° means 150° left, right, up, and down. Fig. 6 Pop Noise In order to avoid those unpopular pop noises on stage, remember the following: • Talk across the microphone head.

Remote Antenna Antenna that is connected by a special antenna cable to the antenna input socket on a receiver rather than directly to the antenna input socket. Room Radius In a room within which a sound is generated, e.g. by a loudspeaker, every point is characterized by its own unique ratio of direct sound and sound reflected from the walls.
7496_04_Fulline_E4_fsch 29.06.2004 13:22 Uhr Seite 221 GLOSSARY field surrounded by a coil. Applications include miniature microphones for hearing aids and guitar pickups. 4. Dynamic microphone A conductor (coil attached to diaphragm, ribbon) flexibly suspended in the field of a fixed magnet is vibrated by sound waves. This induces in the conductor an AC voltage that varies in step with the sound waves. 5.
