A handheld vocal microphone provides many ways of shaping

the sound of your voice as it is heard over the sound system.

The following sections contain useful hints on how to use your

microphone for best results.

Basically, your voice will sound the bigger and mellower, the

closer you hold the microphone to your lips. Moving away from

the microphone will produce a more reverberant, more distant

sound as the microphone will pick more of the room’s reverber-

ation.

You can use this effect to make your voice sound aggressive,

neutral, insinuating, etc. simply by changing your working

distance.

Proximity effect is a more or less dramatic boost of low fre-

quencies that occurs when you sing into the microphone from

less than 2 inches. It gives more "body" to your voice and an in-

timate, bass-heavy sound.

If you sing directly into the mi-

crophone, it will not only pick

up excessive breath noise but

also overemphasize "sss", "sh",

"tch", "p", and "t" sounds.

• Therefore, sing to one side of

the microphone or above and

across the microphone’s top.

This provides a well-bal-

anced, natural sound.
