Using the Reporter

• The Reporter is a handheld dynamic microphone,

designed for use in the ﬁ eld of news gathering and

reporting.

• The Reporter features an omnidirectional capsule. For this

reason it is not always necessary to move the microphone

back and forth between the interviewer and the person

being interviewed.

• In a typical interview scenario the microphone should

be held at around chest height between the interviewer

and the person being interviewed, to ensure that

the microphone picks up the speakers in the immediate

vicinity clearly, while reducing the level of any

background noise.
