OutrageProductions Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Regarding 'hanging' microphones; a couple reasons that he overlooked: Yes, heat was a factor, but... ...suspending a mic allowed for a group of vocalists to get tighter around the sweet spot (Motown developed this technique to an art form on omni mics)... ...and whether solo or group, it required the singer(s) to aim level or slightly upwards, opening the throat and promoting more diaphragm extension for stronger delivery... ... and it reduced spit & sibilance, negating the need for a splatter screen. I learned this from one of the engineers for Elvis over 40 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
