18 Setup & Operation
3.8 Microphone Best Practices
 Keep handheld microphones 4-6 inches (102-152 mm) from the mouth (about the width
of a hand).
“P-pops” are loud sounds created by the release of breath when saying letters like “p” or
“b”. To avoid P-pops, keep handheld microphones below the mouth, angled toward the
nose at a 45° angle. Do not point the front of the microphone straight at the mouth.
 Position headset microphones as close to the mouth as comfortable.
 The referee bodypack kit includes both headset and lapel microphones. In general it is
recommended to use the headset mic for best results. If the lapel mic is desired, clip it
onto a lapel, as close to the center of the chest as possible.
 The softer or louder the speaker’s voice, move the microphone closer or further away,
respectively.
 Never hit or intentionally blow into a microphone as it could quite easily be damaged.
