3 Using your microphone

3.1Introduction A handheld vocal microphone provides many ways of shaping the sound of your voice as it is heard over the sound system. The following sections contain useful hints on how to use your microphone for best results.

3.2Working Distance Basically, your voice will sound the bigger and mellower, the and Proximity Effect closer you hold the microphone to your lips. Moving away from

the microphone will produce a more reverberant, more distant sound as the microphone will pick more of the room’s reverber- ation.

You can use this effect to make your voice sound aggressive, neutral, insinuating, etc. simply by changing your working distance.

Proximity effect is a more or less dramatic boost of low fre- quencies that occurs when you sing into the microphone from less than 2 inches. It gives more "body" to your voice and an in- timate, bass-heavy sound.

3.3Angle of Incidence Refer to fig. 1.

If you sing directly into the mi- crophone, it will not only pick up excessive breath noise but also overemphasize "sss", "sh", "tch", "p", and "t" sounds.

•Therefore, sing to one side of the microphone or above and across the microphone’s top. This provides a well-bal- anced, natural sound.

The D7 S variant introduces an added convenience with its integrated on/off switch, providing vocalists with greater control during performances. This handy feature allows artists to easily mute their microphone when not in use, minimizing the risk of unwanted noise.

The D 7 LTD edition is designed with a focus on aesthetic appeal, featuring a striking finish that distinguishes it from the standard models. While maintaining the legendary performance characteristics of the D7, the LTD version is aimed at professionals who appreciate both function and form.

All D7 microphones come encased in durable all-metal housings, ensuring they withstand the wear and tear of frequent use. They also include a robust suspension mount to minimize handling noise, further enhancing the clarity of the audio produced.
