Near-perfect polar response will allow placing the microphones closer to the choir (as close as 3 feet or even closer). The height of the microphone should be in line with the head of the highest singer in the choir. When miking choirs with an orchestra or band in front of the choir, the microphone ...
Utilizing earthworks near-perfect polar response near-perfect polar response conventional cardioid microphones typically have poor polar response. They will have a relatively uniform (i.E. Flat) frequency response at the front of the microphone (on-axis or 0 degrees), meaning they will uniformly rep...
Figure 4. An 80-voice choir miked with 6 conventional microphones at 6 feet how earthworks near-perfect polar response can benefit you there are several ways near-perfect polar response can benefit you. 1. Use of fewer microphones 2. Ability to place microphones closer to the sound source for more g...
Figure 8 below, shows that it would actually take 12 conventional cardioid mi- crophones to provide the same coverage as 3 earthworks cardioid microphones, when placed 3 feet in front of the choir. Three characteristics of earthworks microphones will provide more gain before feedback: (1) smooth off...

Now lets look at what happens in the actual use and application of these two types of cardioid microphones. If you were to take the typical convention...

When screwing the fw730 in the cast iron base, first place the cast iron base on the floor. Then, by holding the stand section (a), carefully rotate the flexwand into the threaded hole (c) in the cast iron base (at least 2 full turns). Next, wrap your hand around the xlr connector section (b), pick ...
When using the “boom mode,” the clutch should be loosened and the sleeve should be slid down so it only covers about half of the large flex, then tighten the clutch. By doing this, the flex section will be much more rigid than if the sleeve were slid all the way down. You might want to experience th...
