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
loudspeakers 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. 180°; see polar diagram).

(less bass/
fundamental)
Some room ambience,
