3.2 Posizionamento del microfono
The placement of the lavalier microphone significantly impacts sound quality.
- Posizione ottimale: For most applications, clip the microphone to clothing approximately 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) below the chin, centered on the chest. This position typically provides a balanced sound.
- Clothing Noise: Ensure the microphone is not rubbing against clothing, jewelry, or other objects, as this can cause unwanted noise. Use the included clip to secure the microphone firmly.
- Rumore del vento: If operating outdoors or in windy conditions, consider using an additional foam windscreen (not included) to minimize wind noise.
