General Rules for Use
•
Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source (such as the talker, singer, or instrument)
and away from unwanted sources.
•
Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired sound source.
•
Work close to the microphone for extra bass response.
•
Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.
•
Use the fewest number of microphones as practical.
•
Keep the distance between microphones at least three times the distance from each microphone
to its source.
•
Place microphones as far as possible from reflective surfaces.
•
Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors.
•
Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical noise and vibration.
•
Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with your hand, as this will adversely affect micro-
phone performance.
