914 Bedienungsanleitung Instructions for use Notice d‘emploi Istruzioni per l‘uso Instrucciones para el uso Gebruiksaanwijzing
914 The cardioid 914 is a pre-polarised condenser microphone designed for demanding applications which require a wide frequency response, high sound pressure level, fast transient response and a compact design. With its frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the 914 is able to capture the full sound of the instrument, while its cardioid pick-up pattern isolates the microphone from other on-stage signals.

Sensitivity and bass filter The 914 is equipped with a three-position sensitivity switch (A) and a bass filter switch (B). B A Adjusting the sensitivity (A) 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.

With certain live or close instrument miking applications, an over-emphasis of the low frequencies can occur. This can be compensated for by the 6 dB/octave roll-off filter.
Positioning the microphone Percussion Position Commentary Positioning the microphone a few centimetres above the outer edge of the hi-hat aiming down gives a natural, clear sound. If necessary, remove unwanted lowfrequency signal portions by high pass filtering. 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. Good starting position for live miking applications.
