Basic Rules for Microphones

• Aim a directional microphone toward the desired sound source (for instance, a talker, a singer, a musical instrument).
• Do not pick up the same sound source with more than one microphone. Keep the distance between multiple microphones at least three times the distance from each source to its intended microphone.
• When the extra bass response is desirable, a word is close to the microphone. This phenomenon is known as the ‘‘proximity effect’’.
• Locate the microphone as far as possible from acoustically reflective (hard, smooth) surfaces.
• To preserve directional characteristics, do not obstruct the grille with your hand.
