6 7 ne of the most varied applications is as a speaker’s microphone on a table. Usually the microphone should be placed so that it is incon- spicuous or even invisible, especially in television, while delivering op- timum signal quality. Moreover, body noise and wind noise should be suppressed effectively.
8 9 Small, Elastic Setups Apart from the acoustical quality of signal reproduction, the biggest prob- lem in tabletop applications can be suppression of body noise. This should have been taken into account already in the planning phase by using a solid table construction with high internal damping.
