Positioning
Position the front of the microphone towards the desired sound
source. Position the sides, the null points of a bidirectional mi-
crophone, towards any unwanted sound sources.
Note: When addressing the back side of a bidirectional micro-
phone, please remember to invert the signal polarity. Shure’s

switch capable of this operation and is available online at:
