handle for more comfortable feel
and lower handling noise
General Description:
The N/D478's acoustic response presents optimal
performance in both a live sound or studio environment.The
new "vocally optimized bass" or VOB™ technology provides
the instrumentalist with reduced resonant distortion at low
frequencies. Critical damping of the low frequency resonant
peak has resulted in a microphone that replaces the
"muddiness" found in competitive models with greater
warmth and increased clarity. The result is a exceptional
performing instrument microphone with clean, clear,
consistent sound that "cuts through the mix."
Operation
The low frequency response of the N/D478 microphone
varies with the distance from the sound source. Known as
"proximity effect," maximum bass response is produced in
"close-up" use with the microphone 1/4 inch from the sound
source. Normal bass response is experienced with working
distances greater than 24 inches.Working close to the
microphone will produce a more robust sound. Close up
positioning of the microphone will also reduce the potential
for feedback from the sound reinforcement system.When
close-miced, the bass-boost provides an increase in overall
microphone output level.The mixer gain may be
proportionately reduced, resulting in a reduction of the
system's sensitivity to feedback caused by sound entering
the microphone from the loudspeakers.

2.The microphone should be located close to the sound source to minimize interference from other potential sound sources. 3. Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones. Place each microphone three times farther from other microphones as from the desired sound source.
