  • Roll-off filter position "M": Recording or transmission of music, vocals or speech at
    distances>=30 cm

 

  • Roll-off filter position "S": Vocals and speech recording/transmission at
    distances<=10 cm.

  • For outdoor recording/transmission or distances <= 15 cm a pop/windshield should be used.
