Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work with the AVX wireless system and is the mic omnidirectional?

A: Yes it will work with the AVX system. No it is not omnidirectional, it is cardioid.

Q: 2. How to reduce feedback

A: Proper placement is crucial. You want to ensure you are close enough to your source --in this case, the mouth of your presenter-- to achieve adequate gain with minimal ambience, yet far enough away as to not to pick up every breath between phrases. Once you've found your sweet spot, implement a few bands of parametric eq to catch the first frequencies that begin to propagate. Parametric eq's are easy to come by on most digital consoles but if you are working with analog gear, inserting a graphic eq at the end of your channel --after compression and before any channel groups or mix busses you may be routing through-- should also allow you to notch out the first few problematic frequencies and achieve adequate gain without carving away too much of the tone and timbre of your presenter's voice.

Q: 9. HI, CANI USE IT AS A WIRED MIC CONNECTING A FEMALE EP CONNECION TO IT? I CAN SAVE COST OF TE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER. THE SPEAKER IN OUR SHOW IS STATIONARY AT ONCE SEAT.

A: To use the Sennheiser HSP-4 headset mic as a wired mic requires a special adapter. The HSP-4 is a condenser mic and requires a bias voltage thats normally provided by a wireless transmitter. The Sennheiser MZA-900-P adapter has a 1/8 mini jack on one end for the mic connection, and a male XLR plug on the other end for a standard XLR mic cable; 48-volt phantom power is required. The combination works great, by the way.
