845 / 845 S
The 845 is a high-performance lead vocal microphone,
specially designed for rough stage use. Due to its
extended high-frequency response and super-cardioid
pick-up pattern, the 845 ensures vocal projection
through high on-stage sound levels.
The microphone has a smooth, warm tonal response and
full dynamic range. The presence boost ensures vocal
clarity and projection.
The balanced frequency response maintains signal
quality when moving on and off axis during performance.
The minimal proximity effect provides for consistently
clear bass-end performance when singing closer to, or
further from the microphone, providing greater on-stage
freedom.
The super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides e
xcellent
feedback rejection
. The rugged metal construction and
internal damping isolates handling noise.
The 845 S variant features a silent
ON/OFF switch .

Positioning the microphone
If sibilance or “popping” occurs, position the microphone
not directly in front of the mouth but slightly to the side.
In order to prevent feedback, position monitor loud-
speakers so that they are located in the angle area of the
highest cancellation of the microphone.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 120°; see polar diagram).
