DimensionsHints
1 In order to prevent feedback
(howling):
·Lower the volume.
·Place the microphone so that it
is not pointed to the speaker and
that there is a sufficient distance
between the microphone and the
speaker.
·Do not cover the lower part of the
grille with your hand.
2 Positioning the microphone close to the sound source causes the so-called
proximity effect (a boost in the low frequency response). This phenomenon
can be used to create a richer and warmer bass sound.
