Standard Placement & Use Guidelines

1.Always point the microphone at the desired source of

sound, and away from any unwanted sources.

2.The microphone should be located close to the sound

source to minimize interference from other potential

sound sources.

3. Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones.

Place each microphone three times farther from other

microphones as from the desired sound source.

4. Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce

unwanted mechanical noise.

5.Working close to the microphone will increase the bass

tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.
