| === Close Microphone Technique === | | === Close Microphone Technique === |
| '''Get close to the microphone''' when you want to be loud. No other technique has a big an impact on feedback. Each halving of distance is approximately another 6 dB of [[Gain Before Feedback|gain before feedback]]. This relationship in physics is known as the [[Inverse Square Law]]. This means that the difference between working a microphone at 2 inches, and 1/4 inch is 18 dB, which is more than twice as loud. While good mic technique often involves "working" the microphone at different distances, singers must be mindful of the fact that small changes in distance from the mouth result in very dramatic changes in sound level.
