Beyerdynamic Opus 39 - Manual (Page 4)

Thank you for selecting the Opus 39 dynamic microphone. Please
take some time to read carefully through this product information before
setting up the equipment.
Applications
The Opus 39 has been designed for live performances for close
miking of vocals, instruments and loudspeakers.
Setting up
To avoid “pop” sounds hold the microphone below from the
mouth slightly diagonally to sing or speak across the top edge of the
microphone. Due to the close miking effect, sound and volume
change according to the distance to the mouth. If you want a more
intimate sound, choose a short distance (1").
Due to the supercardioid polar pattern the Opus 39 has a high gain-
before-feedback. To achieve maximum gain-before-feedback, the
wedge monitor should be positioned at an angle of approximately
135° to the longitudinal axis of the microphone.
Connection
The Opus 39 is equipped with a 3-pin XLR-plug. You can
connect the microphone to any microphone input. For best results we
recommend the use of balanced microphone cables.
