Four versions of the MD 419 are available:
MD 419 N 3-pin plug (small Tuchel plug, screwable);
low impedance, balanced. (Fig. 1)
MD 419 U 3-pin Cannon plug (XLR); low impedance,
balanced. (Fig. 1)
MD 419 N-T Same as MD 419 N, but with on/off switch
MD419 U-T Same as MD 419 U, but with on/off switch

Cannon male connector
XLR-3. Length of cable: 7.5 m.
If none of the connecting cables listed fits to the microphone
input of your set, please contact your RN-dealer.
Bass filter
Hold the microphone on arms length and bring it slowly back
towards your mouth. If you listen to your own voice via a head-
phone you will realize that your voice sounds more dull the closer
the microphone gets towards your mouth. All directional micro-
6
phones show this increase of low frequencies at dose miking.
With the bass filter (Fig. 2) set to position "S" the accentuation of
the low frequencies can be eliminated. Therefore, the switch
should always be set to position "S" when the distance between
mouth and sound source is less than 20 cm. If the distance is
more than 20 cm the switch should be set to the middle position.
For recordings from a greater distance or when recording music
switch position "M" is preferable.
Directionaleffect
The MD 419 features a pronounced directionality, which is called
super cardioid. The microphone "hears" best in a forward
direction and gets more and more "deaf" towards the sides and
the back. Therefore the microphone must always be directed
towards the sound source wh ich is to be recorded. Due to the
pronounced directionality disturbing noise coming from the sides
and from the back are effectively suppressed. Signals reaching
the microphone diagonally from the back (120°) produce only
1',2(22 dB) of the voltage which would be produced bya signal
reaching the microphone directly from the front. Due to this
characteristic the MD 419 is especially suitable for recordings in
acoustically unfavourable environments.
Mounting the microphone
Whether your floor stand is equipped with a 3/8"-, '/2" or a 5/8" x
27 G thread, the MD 419 with its quick release clamp will fit them
all. The quick release clamp (Fig. 3) is equipped with achanging
thread, which can be unscrewed with a coin. For the adaptation
to '/2" threads the insert has to taken out, turned around and
replaced. If the insert is removed completely the clamp will fit
%" x 27 G threads.
