to be held as far away from the microphone grille as possible. Do not tap the microphone grille to check that
the microphone is working.
Hold the microphone in front of and close to the mouth, at the height of the chin and just below the bottom
lip. Make sure that the microphone does not actually touch the lip and try to maintain a distance of around a
finger’s width.
Speak clearly into the microphone at a normal volume.
The following points can have a negative effect on both the sound quality and speech clarity:
– Holding the microphone too low (the ventriloquist effect)
– Holding the microphone to close to the mouth so that harsh sounds and breaths are amplified
– Speaking to loudly or too quietly into the microphone
– Holding the microphone near a speaker. The sound coming from the speaker is re-amplified by the
microphone, resulting in a feedback loop (often a loud, piercing noise)
Devine cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to any audio system due to the use of incorrect
microphone technique.
Setting Up Your Audio Installation
Start by setting the volume faders or controls of your mixer to zero. This includes any ‘gain’ or ‘trim’ controls.
After connecting the receiver to your mixer, speak into the microphone using the correct microphone
technique, and then gradually begin to raise the volume on your mixer to a standard level (maximum 0dB, or,
if your system does not have a level indicator, bring it gradually to the halfway or three-quarter way point). By
slowly increasing the volume, you will notice as soon as it is brought to an appropriate level and start to fine-
tune the whole system.
If the signal strength is not sufficient, use the ‘trim or ‘gain’ controls to raise the signal strength to an
appropriate level. If this does not solve the problem or your system does not include these controls, raise the
volume of the corresponding channel on the receiver.
If this is still unable to solve the problem, then another component of the signal chain needs to be adjusted
like the master volume of the mixer.
