Réglage de la préatténuation / correction du son . [. . . ] Stable directivity prevents coloration both in the near field and in the diffuse field. No negative acoustic effects caused by the housing or the sound inlet basket. The mic´s slender design and small dimensions make it visually unobtrusive. · · · · Connecting facilities/power supply The MKH 800 is designed for 48 V phantom powering as per DIN 45596. For power supply units and connecting cables please see "Accessories". Note well: The extension cable is to be put between the power supply unit and the mixing console. For longer cables the line capacitance affects the frequency response of the microphone. 14 Stand mounting/acceptance angles The MZS 80 clamp with shock mount (included) serves to fix the MKH 800 to a stand. The MZS 80 shock mount provides better resistance to footfall. Application tips The MKH 800 is a versatile condenser microphone which is particularly well suited to applications in the studio recording environment. · Its problem-free reproduction of high sound pressure levels makes it the perfect mic for soloist. Its low inherent noise makes the MKH 800 the ideal principal microphone. If the microphone is set to the supercardioid pick-up pattern, the monitors in the studio need not be switched off in order to prevent feedback. The MZW 80-1 pop shield effectively suppresses pop noise during close miking. The extended frequency response is in particular suitable for recordings with a sampling rate of 96 kHz. · · · · 15 Selection of pick-up patterns Switch C serves to set the mic to five different pick-up patterns: Omnidirectional The push-pull transducer incorporated into the MKH 800 reduces the mic´s directivity to a minimum for high frequencies. This feature provides a sense of space and depth and allows large sound sources to be miked. For close-miking, sound reproduction does not become overbrilliant or shrill. No proximity effect. C Wide-angle cardioid The wide-angle cardioid pick-up pattern is a combination of the omnidirectional and the cardioid pickup pattern. A rear attenuation of 10 dB allows a moderate attenuation of diffuse signals from the rear and thus a good reverberation balance for longer distances to the sound source, even in rooms which are acoustically less perfect. [. . . ] For 8 kHz the increase amounts to: + 3 dB or + 6 dB Switch B for bass attenuation The bass response can be attenuated in two steps. For 50 Hz the attenuation amounts to: - 3 dB or - 6 dB 18 Accessories MZW 80-1 Foam wind-shield functions as a close-miking and pop shield.
