8 For use as an AB stereo boom Use the Telescopic Extension Unit as a stereo boom and mount a microphone holder at each end. Attach a third Microphone Holder on the thin tube part of the Telescopic Extension Unit to make it mountable to a microphone stand. The microphone basis can be adjusted from approx. 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 in). The integrated microphone cables from D3c or S5c can be drawn internally in the boom and to the holder.

For use as D3 Decca Tree (three microphone array) For best balancing of the microphone array, the D3 is designed so that the three microphone booms can be mounted at the L, C, and R markings on the “Decca Tree” side of the Center Disc. This offers a 120° angle between the booms and it is possible (but not required) to have the microphones in an equilateral triangle, i.e. equal distance between all three microphones. Use the Telescopic Booms with microphone holders to change the microphone distance. Each mark on the Telescopic Boom indicates 10 cm (4 in) increments in microphone spacing when extending all three booms. Depending on recording angle (determined by size and distance to the sound source), spacing between microphones should be adjusted properly. In the following, a few recommendable solutions for different venues and recording angles are presented. If you want to know more about recording techniques, please consult our Microphone University at www.dpamicrophones.com. 9
