Use as a mono microphone
The microphones may also be used as comple-
tely independent mono microphones. There
are many applications when it is important to
have a second mono microphone as a backup,
or when the outputs of microphones with dif-
ferent polar response characteristics must be
available simultaneously.
The outputs of the two microphone channels
can be linked (cascaded). In addition to the
individual directional patterns, other charac-
teristics are available through the combinati-
on of both channels.
Operational safety
Both microphone systems operate complete-
ly independent from each other.
The second amplifier will be unaffected, even
in case of a faulty ground of the supply volta-
ge for one of the channels, or a short circuit in
one of the outputs.
The microphone is reliable in mono usage, even
if only one of the systems is operated and con-
nected. Its simple and redundant circuitry gua-
rantees a low failure rate.
Should the DC con-verter ever fail, a diode
circuit within the microphone ensures that
both systems will remain operational. The car-
dioid pattern is automatically chosen. The sen-
sitivity is reduced by 3 dB.
Application Hints
• As XY stereo mic
• As MS stereo mic
• Overall stereo main mic (overhead)
• Announcer’s mic for
- broadcasting,
- drama,
- interviews,
- features
only for SM 69 fet:
• During recordings when the mic is in a location
where it is difficult to change polar patterns, for
example, suspended from a ceiling.
These are just some of the most common
applications. We recommend additional
experimentation to gain maximum use from this
microphone.
