User Techniques and Applications
The 900 choir microphone is very light weight and can be hung in variety of ways such as a through a small opening in a suspended ceiling, suspended by a small hook in an overhead beam, or any means that is convenient. Once the microphone is suspended, bend the gooseneck so that the microphone points towards the desired sound source.
To prevent the microphone from turning away from the sound source over time, the microphone can be secured with monofilament fishing line. The microphone head has a small hole in it for this purpose. Secure the ends of the line to opposite walls of the room and through the hole in the microphone as shown in the photo on the front of this spec sheet. Use the smallest available line and it will be virtually invisible in the room.
