• Zapobieganie sprzężeniom zwrotnym: Utilize the MTP W950's excellent rear rejection by positioning stage monitors and loudspeakers strategically. The supercardioid pattern offers maximum feedback suppression.
• Kontrola wybuchowa: The dual-layer protection is designed to minimize plosives (harsh 'P' and 'B' sounds). For extreme cases, the included windscreen can be used.
• Działanie bezprzewodowe: When using the MTP W950 capsule with a wireless transmitter, ensure clear line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver to prevent signal dropouts.

6. Konserwacja

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your MTP W950 microphone:

• Czyszczenie: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the microphone body. For the grille, a soft brush can be used to remove debris. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the microphone.
• Składowanie: Always store the microphone in its provided transport case when not in use. This protects it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
• Wilgoć: While the dual-layer protection offers resistance to moisture, avoid exposing the microphone to excessive humidity or direct liquids.
• Temperatura: Store and operate the microphone within recommended temperature ranges to prevent damage to internal components.
