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 SKM100 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
yTransmission 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 5m
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).
