Applications:
We developed the C 535 EB to meet the musician's demands. Record -
ing fine vocal or instrumental music, the professional's search for bril -
liant, transparent sound, pianissimo passages coming through as
clearly as fortissimo passages do, expected pop noise problems with
vocalists or wind noise from wind instruments: this is what the
C 535 EB is really made for. On the basis of extensive testing done in
cooperation with many fine musicians, on stages as well as in many
studios, we recommend the C 535 EB particularly for the following ap-
plications.

Vocals
In terms of sound generation, the human voice is a highly complex
sound source. Our ears are, in a way, "trained" to recognize voices and
are capable of detecting even minute deviations of timbre. Sounds
generated by the human voice can be categorized as sibilants
containing very high frequency components, explosives causing wind
and pop noise, and vowels determining the timbre of a voice by certain
formants (predominant frequency bands). The compass of the human
voice extends from about 90 Hz to around 10 kHz (including fundamen-
tals and harmonics).
The reason why the C 535 EB is particularly suited for vocalist use is
that it is the first condenser microphone to offer the required robustness
and insensitivity to exication by structure-borne noise. Another impor-
tant feature is the four-position mode switch recessed in the micro-
phone shaft. It allows the user to adjust the microphone to the specific
situation.
1. The sensitivity may be changed from about 7 mV/Pa, which is typical
of condenser microphones, to a value 14 dB lower (about 1/5th).
Thus, the microphone may be connected to such devices as are
designed to accept dynamic microphones.
