Adjusting the pick-up pattern
(cardioid/super-cardioid)
The 965 offers the possibility to adjust the pick-up pattern to fit
the application.
Cardioid is the most commonly used pick-up pattern for live PA
applications. It provides good on-stage freedom and also picks up
sound from the sides. The “dead” side is at the rear. This pattern
is good for picking up several vocalists at once, e.g. a choir or
ensemble.
Super-cardioid is particularly sensitive to sound coming from the
front and reduces pickup from the sides. This pattern is therefore
best for picking up an individual sound source in a noisy
environment. Crosstalk from other instruments on stage is
drastically reduced. Select the super-cardioid pick-up pattern to
ensure maximum vocal projection even with very loud on-stage
levels.

Use the directivity switch
»
to select the desired setting:
: cardioid
: super-cardioid
Notes:
In order to prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your
monitor loudspeakers in the angle area of the highest
cancellation of the microphone (cardioid: 180°; super-cardioid:
135°).
