When a performer speaks or sings, there are multiple sources generating sound all at once.

It also provides a large area of uncolored rear rejection beyond 110 degrees off-axis (Figures 10-A & 10-B). Depending on what else is happening in the room, aim the rear of the...

Is it at least 24V, and is the phantom power source capable of supplying at least 10mA of current? • Are you using high quality microphone cables? Failed solder joints and poor...
