614
The super-cardioid 614 is a pre-polarised condenser
microphone designed for demanding applications which
require a wide frequency response, high sound pressure
level, fast transient response and a compact design. With
its frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the 614 is
able to capture the full sound of the instrument, while its
super-cardioid pick-up pattern isolates the microphone
from other on-stage signals.
An excellent microphone for overheads, hi-hat and
percussions, the 614 is also an ideal choice for wood-
wind and string instruments. Its excellent acoustic
properties also make it a valuable tool for home
recording, the project studio and live stereo pair
recording.

Positioning the microphone
Drums / Percussions
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacentsoundsources,trytopositionthemicrophoneso
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 135°; see polar diagram)
Position Resulting sound Commentary
Natural, clear sound Position the microphone
a few centimetres above
the outer edge of the
hi-hat aiming down.
If necessary, remove
unwantedlow-frequency
signal portions by high
pass filtering.
Attention: When closing
the hi-hat, a strong air
current is created on the
edge. If the microphone
is positioned too close to
the edge, interfering
noise due to the air
current can occur.

little overtones
