Preset Modes - Shure ShurePlus MOTIV Mode D'emploi

⑤ Preset Modes Select a mode to set stereo width, equalization, and compression for specific applications. Refer to the "Pre­
set Modes" topic for more details.
⑥ Polar Pattern Selection Swipe to choose between Stereo, Mono Cardioid, Mono Bidirectional or Raw Mid­Side pick­up pat­
terns. Then adjust the width of the stereo microphone pickup area.
Tip: Consider the location of the microphone and the size of the sound source when adjusting the width. For example, a large
orchestra or ensemble recording will benefit from a wide stereo image to achieve increased separation between instruments.
Other applications, such as speech, benefit from a narrow width for improved clarity with rejection of ambient (room) sound.
⑦ Advanced Features First select a preset mode, then use the advanced controls to fine tune your audio recording and dial in
your sound. Your settings will be retained in the microphone. See "Advanced Features," "Wind Noise Reduction" and "Left-
Right Channel Swap" for more information on how these features work.

Preset Modes

Five selectable modes optimize settings for gain, stereo width, equalization, and compression. Set the microphone level and try
the modes to find which sounds best. Preset modes can affect the strength of the input signal, so adjust the microphone level
as needed after changing presets.
