Description Summary The C 391 B system consists of a universal powering/output module (SE 300 8), several microphone capsules and readiy-interchangeable accessories to sui all types of application. The microphone is virually unaffected by handling noise due to its fighieight diaphragm. Additional features include the al-metal housing, which makes i less susceptible to HF interference, as well as its trouble-free operation in almost al situations due to its conservative and relable design. The switchable 10 dB attenuation of the output signal is a major benefit at high sound pressure levels (Le. high-powered sound sources) and when the input stages of ampliiers or mixing desks have lower madmum input levels. M this option was not available, these connected stages would be overampiied without being able to fuly control the microphone. ‘The switchable bass cut filter of the microphone also helps to suppress low-frequency distorion, such as rumble or wind noises, that cannot be controlled. The filer slope is approx. 12 dB/octave with the comer frequency (-3 dB point) ing at approx. 75 Hz. casses ©

Application 3 Application Introduction CK 91 - Cardioid microphone capsule CK 92 - Omnidirectional microphone capsule © crosses The capsules are connected to the poweringloutput module by a simple bayonet mounting system. This allows he various capsules to be switched reliably, quickly and easily, even when they cannot be seen (e.g. in darkened rooms) The capsules and accessories can only be connected to the pouering module in one position. À short, sharp twist t the right (isten out for a distinct "click”) will secure the module in position (see fig. The capsule is removed just as easily with a Short twist to the left Our modules and system accessories are designed for use in a whole range of user-speciic applications. À brief selection of these are listed belou. KE \, Classic microphone capsule with a carcioid polar pattem. Suitable for all applications where good sound attenuation (180°) is required Microphone with sphercal polar pattem for use during ve commentaries or for choir and solo performer recordings in either a recording or television studio. The capsule has no distance-dependent frequency cuve (proxdimity effect - nommally an advantage in the applications mentioned above.

Application CK 93 - Hypercardioid microphone capsule CK 94 - Figure-eight microphone capsule CK 97C - Miniature cardioid microphone capsule CK 98 - Short shotgun capsule Similar to the CK 91 in design, but acousticaly the CK 93 capsule provides a uniform hypercardioid polar patte. The result is a higher front-to-random factor than with cardioid microphone capsules. This offers the advantage of better side separation in. muli-channel recording work and increased feedback protection in sound reinforcement applications. This microphone capsule provides exceptionally good suppression of off-ais sounds and is consequently well-suited for interviews or recording dramas. The CK 94 can be used as part of an MS combination in conjunction with a second microphone with a cardioid, hypercardioid or omnidirectional polar pattern. This miniature. microphone can be used in any situation where the microphone must be 25 inconspicuous as possible, or even hidden completely out of sight. The microphone polar patte ensures that recordings are free from overemphasised auditory source width and that sound reinforcement work can be completed with good feedback protection. This shoïgun capsule represents a good compromise between the tube length and the resulting directiviy. The capsule is best suited for sound recordings in the flm and television industries, as well as for on-stage and outdoor applications. It can also be used anywhere where clear separation between individual instruments is needed without additional acoustic partitions. casses ©
