A handheld vocal microphone provides many ways of shaping the sound of your voice as it is heard over
the sound system.
The following sections contain useful hints on how to use your HT 40 handheld transmitter for best
results.
Basically, your voice will sound the bigger and mellower, the closer you hold the microphone to your lips.
Moving away from the microphone will produce a more reverberant, more distant sound as the micro-
phone will pick more of the room’s reverberation.
You can use this effect to make your voice sound aggressive, neutral, insinuating, etc. simply by changing your working
distance.
