All the d:fine
Headset Microphones provide a uniquely natural and open sound.
Ultra-lightweight and adjustable, d:fine
TM
Headset Mics ensure a secure and
comfortable fit in live performance environments. To ensure optimal performance
of your d:fine Headset Mic, please follow the simple instructions below.
Placement of microphone
For discreet placement, you can bend the microphone boom slightly so that the cap-
sule is as close to the cheek as possible. Do not hold the capsule while bending; bend
the wire boom, making a smooth
curve with your thumb to best fit
the profile of the face.
Mount a directional mic 2 – 3
cm (1 in) from the corner of the
mouth to ensure optimal sound
quality compared to an omnidi-
rectional mic that can be placed
further away from the mouth.
Omnidirectional characteristics
• The microphone is sensitive to sound from all directions.
• The sound remains more or less the same regardless of
the distance between the sound source and the microphone.
• The positioning of microphones with omnidirectional
characteristics is less critical than with directional.
• An omnidirectional microphone is generally not very
sensitive to wind, breathing and handling noises.
Directional characteristics
• Rejects background noise and creates higher separation.
• The microphone is most sensitive to sound on the side of the chevron.
• The positioning of mics with directional characteristics is essential
as the low frequency level will change according to the distance to the mouth.
Choose a distance which yields the desired amount of bass.
• Care should be taken to protect against wind and pop noise e.g. by using
a windsceen.
