Omnidirectional characteristics
•Themicrophoneissensitivetosoundfromalldirections.
•Thesoundremainsmoreorlessthesameregardlessof
 thedistancebetweenthesoundsourceandthemicro-
 phone.Goodchoiceforuntrainedpersonnel.
•Thepositioningofmicrophoneswithomnidirectional
 characteristicsislesscriticalthanwithdirectional.
•Anomnidirectionalmicrophoneisgenerallynotverysensi-
 tivetowind,breathingandhandlingnoises.
Directional characteristics
•Rejectsbackgroundnoiseandcreateshigherseparation.
•Themicrophoneismostsensitivetosoundonthesideof
 thechevron.
•Thepositioningofmicrophoneswithdirectionalcharacteristicsises-
 sential,asthelowfrequencylevelwillchangeaccordingtothedistance
 tothemouth.Chooseadistancewhichyieldsthedesiredamountof
 bass.
•Careshouldbetakentoprotectagainstwindandpopnoise.
Thedirectionalcharacteristicsofthemicrophoneisindicatedonthe
microphoneheadwithforomnidirectionalandfordirectional.
Thismarkingshouldalwayspointtowardsthemouth.
How to mount DPA d:neTM Headset microphone
Openthespringhooklightly,rstplacetheslidebehindyourearlobe

theprotectiongridonthemicrophone,asitprotectstheinnergridand
offersprotectionagainstwindandbreathingnoise.Theprotectiongrid
isreplaceable.
Windscreens
Theenclosedwindscreensofferadditionalprotectionagainstwindand
popnoise.Gentlydrawthewindscreenoverthemicrophonehead.For
evenbetterprotection,biggerwindscreensareavailable.
