Your hand isn’t part of the band — so don’t let it play the mic! 🎤 Hold your handheld mic by the handle, not the grille. Covering the head (“cupping”) can add unwanted resonances, change your tone, and invite feedback to the party. Keep a short, comfy distance from your mouth, and let the mic do its job: making your vocals shine loud and clear.

Hold the OD505 at a comfortable distance — close enough to capture detail, but far enough to avoid distortion from plosives or very loud singing.

🎻 Mic’ing a double bass on stage with the #OC818 Place the mic a short distance in front of the bridge to capture the instrument’s depth and detail. Want more low-end? Shift it slightly toward the F-hole. Use cardioid to focus on the bass and reduce sound from drums or other instruments, or omni to capture the full, natural resonance of the room. Angle the mic to avoid unwanted reflections from nearby instruments. Small adjustments in distance and angle can make a big difference — the OC818 gives you the flexibility to find the perfect balance. #AustrianAudio #MicTips #LiveSound
