608  
The super-cardioid 608 is a dynamic microphone ideal  
for almost invisible clip-miking of drums, percussions,  
brass and woodwind (except certain flutes). The goose-  
neck mounting enables the capsule to be positioned close  
to the signal source for high realism and high-level  
output.  
Extensive damping and shock mounting isolates the  
capsule and signal from extraneous vibrations, impact and  
handling noise. The humbucking coil protects against  
electromagnetic interference.

Clear, powerful

Balanced, natural  
sound  
For a Saxophone, the  
microphone should  
normally be directed  
partly towards the  
bell and partly  
towards the body of  
the instument.  
To reduce ambient noise (at the expense of the true  
“Saxophone sound”) direct the microphone into the bell.  
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. 120°; see polar diagram).
