sound, and away from any unwanted sources.

source to minimize interference from other potential
sound sources.
3. Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones.
Place each microphone three times farther from other
microphones as from the desired sound source.
4. Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce
unwanted mechanical noise.
5.Working close to the microphone will increase the bass
tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.
