PROXIMITY EFFECT
Proximity effect, a characteristic of all directional microphones,
is a rise in low-frequency response at closer working distances.
This can be used to superb effect, particularly with deeper vocals
to enhance richness and depth. A potential trade-off is reduced
articulation resulting from the masking effect on the treble due to
“excessive” bass boost.
