Proximity effect

The 2028 Vocal Microphone is designed as a handheld vocal mic. The

frequency response is tuned to match this application.

At short distances, all directional microphones will create a bass-level

boost – at extended distances, there will be a long-distance low cut.

This phenomenon is known as proximity effect or close-talk. This

gives a deeper/warmer vocal sound at short distances and more thin-

sounding vocals as the distance increases.

Frequency

So keep in mind that the low-frequency level will change according

to the distance the mic is to the mouth. The mic has been designed

and factory fine-tuned for this. The 2028 is intended to be flat at 12

cm (4.7 in).

Miking and recording voice

When using a mic, it is important to know some of the parameters

characterizing the source you are amplifying/recording, its surround-

ings and the characteristics of the tools you are using. For tips and
