on/off (D 77 S,

D 88 S)

Refer to fig. 3.

Note:

Please make sure that the piece of equipment

your microphone will be connected to fulfills the

safety regulations in force in your country and is

fitted with a ground lead.

D 11, D 22, D 77 S/XLR, D 88 S/XLR

Use the supplied balanced cable to connect the

microphone to the desired XLR input.

D 77 S/Jack, D 88 S/Jack

Use the supplied unbalanced cable to connect

the microphone to the desired 1/4” input jack.

Please note that unbalanced cables may pick up

interference from stray magnetic fields near power

or lighting cables, electric motors, etc. like an

antenna. This may cause hum or similar noise when

you use a cable that is longer than 16 feet (5 m).

1. To switch the microphone on, slide the on/off

switch toward the front grill (”ON” position).

2. To switch the microphone off, slide the on/off

switch toward the microphone cable (”OFF”

position).

To prevent unwanted bursts of noise, be sure

to switch the microphone off before connect-

ing or disconnecting the microphone cable.

2.4.1 Flute

Refer to fig. 4.

2.4.2 Saxophone

Refer to fig. 5.

2.4.3 Harmonica

Refer to fig. 6.

2.4.4 Trumpet,

Tuba, Trombone

Refer to figs. 7, 8, 9.

The following sections contain suggestions for

placing the microphone optimally for a number of

instruments.

Please note that moving the microphone closer to

the instrument will boost the bass range. (This is

known as “proximity effect”.)

Microphone: D 77 S

Working distance

Jazz/pop: 1 to 2 inches. Blow a little below the

microphone to avoid overemphasizing blow-

ing and breathing noise.

Classical music: 4 to 8 inches above the instru-

ment.

Microphones: D 22, D 77 S

Working distance

0 to 2 inches: The microphone will pick up the bell

sound only.

2 to 8 inches: The microphone will pick up both

the bell sound and the sound radiated from

the keys.

Microphone: D 77 S

Working distance: ”zero” - clamp the micro-

phone between your hands. You will get a very

direct sound that you can ”shape” with your

hands.

Microphone: D 22 (trumpet), D 11 (tuba and

trombone)

Working distance

0 to 2 inches: The microphone will pick up the bell

sound only.

2 to 8 inches: The microphone will pick up both

the bell sound and the sound radiated from

the body.

2.4.9 Mounting

the D 22 on a

Drum

Refer to fig. 15.

Microphone: D 22

Working distance: 0 to 2 inches. Aim the micro-

phone at a point between the center and the

perimeter of (one of) the speaker diaphragm(s).

Microphone: D 11

Working distance

Bass amp with single speaker: 2 inches. Aim the

microphone at a point between the center and

the perimeter of the speaker diaphragm.

Bass amp with woofer and tweeter: 4 to 6 inches.

Aim the microphone at a point halfway

between the woofer and tweeter.

Microphone: D 11

Working distance: Aim the microphone at the

point where the beater hits the skin.

The sound will be the drier and harder, the

closer the microphone sits to the head. Work-

ing distances around 1 inch provide the

famous “click”.

If you prefer a rounder sound aim the micro-

phone at a point between the center and the

perimeter of the head.

Microphones: D 22, D 77 S

Working distance: 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches away from

the top skin.

1. Screw the supplied H 440 bracket to the stand

adapter on the microphone using the captive

knurled-head screw on the H 440 bracket.

2. Engage the top groove of the H 440 bracket in

the top hoop from above.

3. Engage the lower arm of the H 440 bracket in

the underside of the top hoop.

Preventing

feedback

4. Align the microphone with the perimeter of the

top head.

The closer you hold the microphone to your lips,

the louder and darker your voice will sound. As

you move away from the microphone, your voice

will sound quieter and brighter.

If you hold the microphone closer than 2 inches

to your lips, the proximity effect, an inherent

property of any unidirectional microphone, will

sharply boost the low frequencies.

Sing to one side of the microphone or above and

across the microphone’s top. This provides a

well-balanced, natural sound.

If you sing directly into the microphone, it will not

only pick up excessive breath noise but also

overemphasize “sss”, “sh”, “tch”, “p”, and “t”

sounds.

Part of the sound projected by the speakers will

be picked up by the microphone, amplified, and

fed back to the speakers. Above a certain volume

level, this ”vicious circle” causes the sound sys-

tem to howl and whistle.

•Never point your microphones directly at mon-

itor or PA speakers.

•Place your monitor speakers where the micro-

phone sensitivity is at a minimum.

With the D 88 S supercardioid microphone,

these areas are behind and to the sides of the

microphone. With the D 77 S cardioid, the

minimum sensitivity area is right behind the

microphone.

•Be sure to hold the microphone by the shaft

and never cover the sound entries behind the

microphone grill. If you cover the rear sound

entries, the microphone will lose its directivity

and its gain before feedback would drop

sharply.

1. Keep the maximum number of vocalists shar-

ing a microphone to two.

2. To get adequate signal level, make sure the

two vocalists will remain within an angle of

±35 degrees off the microphone axis.

To clean the microphone case, use a soft cloth

moistened with water.

1. Unscrew the front grill from the microphone

CCW.

2. Remove the windscreen from the from grill

and wash the windscreen in soap suds.

3. Allow the windscreen to dry overnight.

4. Replace the windscreen in the front grill and

screw the front grill on the microphone CW.
