Mai 2008 11:14 11 Adjusting the pick-up pattern (cardioid/super-cardioid) The 965 offers the possibility to adjust the pick-up pattern to fit the application. Cardioid is the most commonly used pick-up pattern for live PA applications. It provides good on-stage freedom and also picks up sound from the sides. The “dead” side is at the rear. This pattern is good for picking up several vocalists at once, e.g. a choir or ensemble.
e965_524141_0408_Sp6.book Seite 9 Mittwoch, 28. Mai 2008 11:14 11 Select the pick-up pattern according to the number and position of your monitor loudspeakers. Cardioid Super-cardioid Adjusting the sensitivity When very high signal levels cause distortion in the microphone or in the subsequent microphone preamplifier, you can reduce the microphone sensitivity. The sensitivity can be reduced by 10 dB.
