Operation Operation Positioning the microphone: Drums / Percussions Attention: When closing the hi-hat, a strong air current is created on the edge. If the microphone is positioned too close to the edge, interfering noise due to the air current can occur. f It is vital to observe the following notes: Pos. Commentary A Position the microphone a few centimetres above the outer edge of the hi-hat aiming down. If necessary, remove unwanted low-frequency signal portions by high pass filtering.
Operation Sensitivity and bass filter The e 914 is equipped with a three-position sensitivity switch and a bass filter switch. Adjusting the sensitivity The microphone sensitvity can remain unchanged (0) or be reduced by 10 dB or 20 dB. The latter is recommended when there is a risk that the microphone or subsequent microphone input is overmodulated, e.g. due to high sound pressure levels from drums, brass instruments, etc.
