SCHOEPS CMXY 4V Ig - Handbuch (Seite 11)

Dear customer:
Thank you for choosing a SCHOEPS CMXY 4V
stereo microphone.
The following pages contain technical infor-
mation, application suggestions and advice
concerning the care and maintenance of this
microphone.
The CMXY 4V is a com pact and ver sa ti le X/Y
stereo mi cro pho ne which is both ele gant and
very un ob tru sive. Its mild high-frequency boost
increases the intelligibility of speech and com-
pensates for high-frequency losses typical of
moderate recording distances. It thus lends it -
self ideal ly to music recordings, TV and bro ad -
cast use, e.g. on a ta ble for discus sions, for
presenters, boom ope ra tions or as a ste reo
spot micro pho ne on a stand.
Unlike conventional microphones which
have one fixed and one rotatable capsule, the
angle between the capsules of the CMXY 4V
(and hence the recording angle) can be adjusted
with out affecting the main stereo axis. The
capsules always rotate equally and in opposite
directions by means of an ingenious gear
arrangement in the base of the microphone.
This greatly simplifies setting up the micro-
phone.
Setting up the CMXY 4V on a table top
A good speaker's desk, or a table on which
microphones are to be set up, calls either for a
rather heavy weight construction or for a per-
forated metal surface to be used. A heavy table-
top will not flex much; a perforated surface on
the other hand will radiate and reflect less sound
energy than one which is flat and solid.
When any microphone is placed near (but not
directly onto) a flat surface, comb-filter effects
will occur. These can be reduced if the surface
(e.g. the table top) consists of a perforated
material. Comb-filter effects will also go prac-
tically unnoticed if you increase the distance
of the microphone from the table top. This
only needs to be by a few centimeters.
