4.15.3 The Effect of Distance from the Microphone
Unlike a normal microphone system, noise cancellation makes the level of your voice diminish quickly as
you move away from the radio. The radio starts to see your voice as surrounding noise. Therefore, noise
cancellation requires that you hold the mic close.
4.15.4 Voice Versus Noise Reference Microphone
The voice microphone is located on the top front face of the mic and the noise reference microphone is on
the lower rear side. Do not obstruct either element during radio transmissions.
