13. 12 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Quiz Impression

14. 13 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Answer to Quiz

15. 14 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Importance of Placement Key

16. 15 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Microphone Orientation Marking During impression taking a microphone placement key must be used in order to indicate the correct orientation of the microphones. Instruct the client to look straight ahead at a point at eye level. Place the placement key at a horizontal position.

17. 16 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Parallel Microphone Manufacture 1 Make a marking on the investment according to marks from placement key Transport this marks to the shell

18. 17 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Parallel Microphone Manufacture 2 Place the shell on the faceplate Align marks on shell with guidelines on faceplate Scratch a line around the shell Guidelines Scratched line Erase marks on shell Mount shell after scratched line

19. 18 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Active Microphone Matching

20. 19 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Active Microphone Matching +1.2 -0.5 - 1,2 dB Coyote 1.5 + 0.5 dB Danalogic use matched microphones Digital 5000 match once with FONIX Canta is matched with FONIX and keeps the matching updated all the time. When changing microphone(s) or hybrid remember to match with FONIX

21. 20 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Telecoils & Loop systems

22. 21 Global Technical Operations January 2001 Telecoil 1000 times/sec. = 1kHz Voltmeter 1 sec. = 1 Hz.
