Positioning the microphone

If sibilance or “popping” occurs, position the microphone

not directly in front of the mouth but slightly to the side.

In order to prevent feedback, position monitor loud-

speakers so that they are located in the angle area of the

highest cancellation of the microphone.

In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between

adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone

so that the interfering sound source is located in the

angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone

(approx. 150°; see polar diagram).
