directly toward the sound source and away from reflective sources and
loudspeakers.
For extra bass response and less room noise, work close to the •
microphone.
To minimize the pickup of unwanted handling noise, avoid excessive •
handling of vocal microphones.
While connecting or disconnecting the microphone, keep the microphone •
switch in the “OFF” position.
Hold vocal microphones by their handles and avoid covering the grille with •
your hand.
