Attaching the windshield
Pop noises resulting from close miking can be suppressed
effectively using the optional MZW 80-ANT windshield or
the optional MZP 40 popperstopper (see “Accessories and
spare parts” on page 9).
To attach the windshield:
̈ Slide on the windshield onto the sound inlet basket ³.
To attach the popperstopper:
̈ Attach the gooseneck of the popperstopper to the stand.
The popperstopper changes the sound only slightly.
Remote adjustment of the pick-up patterns
The two signals of the MKH 800 TWIN allow the remote
adjustment of the pick-up patterns at the mixing console.
The two microphone signals (front and rear) are routed to
separate channels and summed together. The sum signal is
then distributed over the stereo channels as usual using the
pan control.
̈ The pan control of both channels has to be aligned
identically for correct operation.
Pick-up pattern Setting
Omni-directional ̈ Set the amplification to the same
value in both channels.
Wide cardioid* ̈ Set the amplification in the rear
channel lower than in the front
channel.
Cardioid ̈ Activate the front channel only.
