Correct Microphone Placement

Holdthemicrophonewithin12inchesfromthesoundsource.Forawarmersoundwithincreasedbasspresence,move

the microphone closer.

Do not cover grille with hand.

Boundary (MXW6/C, MXW6/O)

The boundary transmitter sits on a table or desk to transmit speech while discreetly blending into any conference environment.

Cardioid and omnidirectional versions are available.

Microphone Placement

For best low-frequency response and rejection of background noise, place the microphone on a large, flat surface, such as a

floor, table, or lectern.

To reduce reverberance, avoid reflective surfaces above or to the side of the microphone, such as beveled sides of pulpits or

overhanging shelves.
