MICROPHONE BASICS
• Microphone Position
The device is ideal for close-up vocals and can be held in the hand or mounted on a mic
stand. The most common applications and placement techniques are listed below. Keep in
mind that microphone technique is largely a matter of personal taste, and there is no "correct"
microphone position.
• Proximity Effect
When the sound source is less than ¼" from the microphone, the microphone boosts bass
Frequencies (by 6 to 10 dB at 100 Hz), creating a warmer and richer bass sound than when
farther away.
• Feedback
Feedback occurs when the amplified sound from any loudspeaker reenters the sound
system through any open microphone and is repeatedly amplified.
Most commonly, feedback is caused by the following conditions:
- Placing loudspeakers too close to microphones.
- Having too many open active microphones, boosting tone controls indiscriminately (mainly
treble).
- Performing in areas with high ratios of room surfaces that have hard and reflective surfaces
such as glass, marble and wood.
What to do if feedback occurs before the sound system is loud enough?
- Request that the talker speak louder into the microphone.
- Reduce the distance from the talker to the microphone.
- Reduce the number of open microphones.
- Move the loudspeaker farther away from the microphone.
- Move the loudspeaker closer to the listener.
