If sibilance or “popping” occurs, position the microphone not directly in front of the mouth but slightly to the side. In order to prevent feedback, position monitor loud- speakers so that they are located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone.

In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 120°; see polar diagram).

The Sennheiser E-845S Three-Pack is an exceptional choice for artists and sound engineers who require reliable vocal microphones in a convenient bundle. Known for their robust build quality and outstanding audio performance, the E-845S microphones cater to both live performance and studio recording needs.
