3 Microphone Applications Note that both the maximum working distance and the area covered by the microphone depend on the pickup angle. The smaller the pickup angle (hypercardioid), the longer the maximum distance between the talker and the microphone and the smaller the area covered by the microphone.
4 Installation and Connections All Discreet Acoustics Modular Capsule Modules are con- 4.1. Capsule denser microphones and therefore require a power supply Modules (phantom power). The Installation Modules have been designed for connection to microphone inputs with 9 to 52 V phantom power. To connect Installation Modules to inputs without phantom power, refer to Section 4.6.
