Problem
Solution
Too much ambience
is being picked up.
•
If you’re using an omnidirectional microphone, the microphone may be picking up too much ambience or
room noise.
•
Make sure the microphone is as close as possible to the subject. Approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the
subject is usually good microphone placement, but you may need to experiment.
•
Reduce acoustic reflections in the area by hanging an acoustic blanket, acoustic foam, fabric, or rug over
bare walls, floors, and windows.
Too much low-
frequency noise and
rumble are being
picked up.
•
Activate the low-cut filter on the transmitter.
•
Make sure the foam windscreen is on the lavalier microphone to minimize wind noise.
•
Turn off nearby fans or air conditioning units.
