Hi guys,

I have a discontinued AKG gooseneck condenser mic that's being used by one of my techs today and he had a question for me that the manual doesn't seem to answer. The tip of the microphone element is slanted, and he was wondering if the axis was somehow altered by that slant, and whether it's down towards the podium surface or up towards the speaker, or something else. I'm including a picture so you know what I'm referring to. The related question is what is the correct way to orient this mic.

Thanks!

The slant does not make a difference.

Just point the mic end at whatever you are trying to pick up.

It is a podium mic, but it sounds pretty good. Normally these things come with a big foam windscreen that goes over the whole top end.
