Questions & Answers

Shopper : What is the optimum distance to place this mic from a unamplified public speaker at the front of a room. Should I hang it overhead pointed down close to the speaker or set it fifteen or so feet back and put it on the floor?RICHARD H : Sorry, I am unable to help for several reasons: 1. The model I purchased is ECM-MS907, not the model you are asking about. 2. I purchased mine to record music with my ZOOM H2 digital recorder, and when I first tried it last week, I had a problem. Pointed directly at the orchestra, the right channel had almost no response. If I pointed the mic slightly left , I could record both channels. I have contacted Sony and am attempting to resolve this issue. I might add, that my grandson uses the same mic/recorder combination with good results.
