2. Place one D 770 about 2 to 4 inches from the
head of each tom.
3. Align the microphone with the perimeter of the
top head.
1. Never let more than two persons share a
microphone.
2. Ask your backing vocalists never to sing more
than 35 degrees off the microphone axis.
The microphone is very insensitive to off-axis
sounds. If the two vocalists were to sing into
the microphone from a wider angle than
35 degrees, you may end up bringing up the
fader of the microphone channel far enough to
create a feedback problem.
To clean the microphone case, use a soft cloth
moistened with water.
