840 / 840 S
The 840 has been engineered for the vocalist that
needs the vocals to cut through the band. Due to its
excellent acoustic properties, the 840 delivers a high
signal output to cut through high on-stage sound levels
with ease. A gentle presence boost to even tonal
response 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.
The cardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent feedback
rejection and good isolation from incidental rear noise.
The rugged metal construction and internal damping
isolates handling noise.
The 840 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. 150°; see polar diagram).
