The f5 is characterized with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control and is equipped with a LM™(Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction. The f5 is sturdy, compact and easy to position. With a wide frequency response of 55 Hz – 15 kHz, the f5 provides clear, accurate, natural sound reproduction without having to rely on EQ. The f5 is manufactured with a precision cast zinc alloy body, dent resistant steel mesh grill, durable black E-coat finish and gold plated XLR connector. USER TIPS The f5 has a tight (hypercardioid) pick-up pattern in order to help eliminate sound from other instruments on stage from “bleeding” into the microphone. For this reason, the f5 is well suited for drums and percussion in be able to capture the sound of each component of the kit. Snare: Start with the f5 about 2 inches above the head and aimed towards the center of the drum. For more “rim” effect, the f5 can be aimed less towards the center and more towards the rim. It is not uncommon for engineers to place the mic practically on the drum head to achieve a very tight, cracking sensation. Toms, congas: Similar to snare. For tighter sound and more attack place, the mic closer to the head. For more decay and overtones pull the mic further away from the head. Guitar cabs: The f5 can be placed within 1-2 inches of the grill cover at a 90 degree angle pointing directly into the speaker. If the mic is placed closer to the edge of the speaker, you will minimize the higher frequencies and get a warmer, fatter tone. To capture more highs, move the mic closer towards the center of the speaker, but avoid the middle of the speaker. Horns: Place the mic within 1-3 inches of the bell, especially when on a stage with drums, bass, guitar, etc. For jazz, classical, and music where the stage volume is lower, the mic can be placed further away for a richer, fuller, sound. Allow a distance of 2-3 feet between microphones to avoid phase cancellation issues. Applications
