A switch at the rear provides a 10 dB pre-attenuation. This allows the microphone to transmit sound pressure levels of up to 127 dB without distortion. Furthermore, the frequency response can be reduced in the low frequencies, e.g.
to compensate for the proximity effect. It is equally suitable for a large number of applications in radio, television, film and sound recording technology. In orchestral recordings it is used as the main microphone and as a support microphone for individual instruments, but mainly as a vocal microphone in all music genres.
