Microphone technique
DPTTetrad bodypack transmitter

C111 LP ear hook microphone
Putting on the microphone
1) Put the microphone on.
2) Bend the gooseneck so that the microphone sits to one side in front of the corner of your
mouth.
If you hear excessive pop noise ("p" and "t" sounds are overemphasised unnaturally), move
the microphone capsule further away from your mouth (back or down).
If the microphone sounds "thin" or flat, move the microphone capsule closer to your mouth.
NOTE
Find the optimum position during the soundcheck.
Windshield
If (for instance, on an open-air stage) excessive wind or pop noise becomes audible, attach the
supplied foam windshield to the microphone.
1) Slide the windshield onto the microphone capsule.
2) Pull the windshield over the outer end of the microphone capsule.
Moisture shield
A special moisture shield on the microphone capsule makes it harder for moisture and make-up
to penetrate into the microphone.
This prevents the microphone apertures from being clogged by perspiration or make-up, which
would make the sound dull and reduce the sensitivity of the microphone. Therefore, you should
never remove the moisture shield from the microphone.
