A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Sennheiser MKH 800, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

    16 C Selection of pick-up patterns Omnidirectional Wide-angle cardioid The push-pull transducer incorporated into the MKH 800 reduces the mic´s directivity to a minimum for high frequencies. The mic has a neutral response to direct and diffuse signals. This feature provides a sense of space and depth and allows large sound sources to be miked. For[...]

    17 Cardioid The cardioid pick-up pattern is acoustically neutral for large acceptance angles. Typical for the push-pull transducer is its high rear attenuation for low frequencies (typ. 30 dB), which allows signals from the rear to be effectively attenuated. The cardioid pick-up pattern is the most versatile characteristic. It is the ideal choice f[...]
