The XCM-50 is a side-address microphone, meaning you should aim your voice directly at the front of the grille. Being a condenser microphone, it is sensitive and highly detailed. This means you can place it a little further away from your mouth than other microphone types, such as a dynamic, without losing clarity and presence. Roughly a handspan (4-8 inches) is a good distance to aim for. This will ensure you are heard clearly without the risk of capturing plosives (loud puffs of air caused by hard syllables starting with ‘p’, ‘b’ and other consonants hitting the microphone capsule). There is an internal pop shield for plosive protection, so you should not experience any issues at this distance.     Item Weight 1.08 pounds Product Dimensions 8.25 x 7.35 x 3.6 inches Country of Origin Australia ASIN B0BF8ZVNWB Item model number XCM-50 Batteries 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.
