4 Microphon Technique

Remember that gain-before-feedback will be the higher the closer the microphone sits to the user's mouth!

3. Make sure to aim the microphone at the user's mouth.

1.Put the microphone on.

2.Bend the gooseneck so that the microphone will sit to one side in front of the corner of your mouth.

•Should you hear excessive pop noise ("p" and "t" sounds are overem- phasized unnaturally), move the microphone capsule further away from your mouth (up or back).

•If the microphone sounds "thin" or flat, move the microphone capsule closer to your mouth (refer to fig. 3).

•Find the optimum position during the soundcheck.
