Recommendations and tips

... for the ME 2 and ME 4 clip-on microphones

yTo reduce level variations to a minimum when the user turns his or her head away from the microphone, attach the microphone as centrally as possible.

yTo protect the microphone against excessive sweat/moisture, avoid direct skin contact.

yAttach the microphone carefully and conduct the cable so that noise due to friction is avoided.

yAlways use the ME 4 directional microphone with a windshield and direct the microphone towards the sound source (e.g. mouth).

... for the ME 3 headmic

yAlways use the microphone with a popshield and position the microphone at the corner of the mouth.

yYou can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the talking distance to the microphone.

yMake sure that the sound inlet is directed towards the mouth. The sound inlet is marked with a little dot.

... for the SK 100 G2 bodypack transmitter

yMake sure that the antenna and the microphone cable do not cross.

yThe antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.

yFor best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly adjusted.

... for the SKM 100 G2 radiomicrophone

yHold the SKM 100 G2 in the middle of the microphone body. Holding it close to the sound inlet basket will influence the microphone’s pick-up pattern, holding it at the lower part of the body will reduce the transmitter’s range.

yYou can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the talking distance to the microphone.

yFor best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly adjusted.

... for the EK 100 G2 bodypack receiver

yThe antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.

... for optimum reception

y Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight” bet- ween transmitting and receiving antennas.

yIf, with the EM 100 G2 receiver, reception conditions are unfavourable, you should use two remote antennas which are connected via antenna cable.

yTo avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and receiving antennas.

yObserve a minimum distance of 50 cm between receiving antennas and metal objects (such as cross members or reinforced-concrete walls).
