Operation

Positioning the microphone e 908 B/e 908 B ew on a wind instrument

Use the microphone clamp to attach the e 908 to the bell of the instrument.

It is vital to observe the following notes:

Position Resulting sound Commentary

A Reduced ambient noise Directed into the bell of the instrument.

B Clear, powerful sound

C Balanced, natural sound Directed partly towards the bell and partly towards

the body of the instrument.

Positioning the microphone e 908 D on a drum

Attach the drum clamp to the rim of the drum by putting the upper part of the clip onto the rim

and clipping it on by pushing down the drum clamp in a rotating action until it snaps into place.

Loosen the knurled screw.

Insert the gooseneck from the side into one of the two slots.

Tighten the knurled screw.

It is vital to observe the following notes:

Position Resulting sound Commentary

D More fundamental

Little overtones

Position on the drum: 3–5 cm above the drumskin,

directed towards the center of the drumskin, the

fundamental to overtones ratio can be adjusted by

changing the angle of the microphone.

The most balanced results are obtained at an angle

of 30–60°.

E Less fundamental

Many overtones

F Pronounced proximity effect Optional: tangential position of the gooseneck in

order to reduce the distance to the drumskin.

D E F

You can attach two microphones to the drum clamp (e.g. for picking up two toms in cramped space

conditions). To do so, use both slots of the drum clamp.

The various adjustment possibilities of the MZH 908 D and MZH 908 B clamps together with the

ﬂexible gooseneck enable the microphone to be optimally positioned on the sound source.
