Operation
Operation
Positioning the microphone an a guitar amp
f The front of the microphone must face the guitar amplifier.
A B C
f It is vital to observe the following notes:
Position Resulting sound Commentary
A many trebles
aggressive sound
microphone directed towards the dome of the
loudspeaker
B less trebles, more lower
mids, smoother sound
balanced, natural sound
good starting position:
microphone directed towards the middle between
dome and edge of the loudspeaker
If necessary, turn the microphone by approx. 30°
towards the edge.
C less trebles, more lower
mids, smoother sound
microphone directed towards the edge of the
loudspeaker
Positioning the microphone on a drum
f The front of the microphone must face the drum.
D E
f It is vital to observe the following notes:
Position Resulting sound Commentary
D more fundamental tone
little overtones
position on the drum:
• 3–5 cm above the batter head
• directed towards the center of the batter head
The fundamental tone to overtones ratio can be
adjusted via the angle. The most balanced results are
obtained at an angle of 30–60°.
E less fundamental tone
many overtones

Operation
Positioning the monitor loudspeakers
f To prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your monitor loudspeakers in the angle area of the
highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 120°).

Adapting the sound characteristics
The e 906 features a switchable presence filter which allows to adapt the microphone to the diffe-
rent sound requirements and styles (see frequency response).
f Use a pointed tool such as a small screwdriver to move the 3-position slide switch to the desired
position.
Position Setting Suitability
boosted presence range e.g. for aggressive metal rhythm guitars
normal presence range e.g. for classic rock
