Introduction

The Shure PGA48-QTR is a basic quality microphone at a decent value. It provides clear sound at the standard frequency range. It features a polar patter of cardioid which means it picks up only the audio from the source and rejects the unwanted external noises. This allows it to block out noises. It is a simple and easy-to-use a microphone. It comes with a simple on/off switch which can used to turn on or turn off the mic.

Shure PGA48-QTR comes with a standard adapter that can be used for mounting the microphone to the microphone stand. It also comes with a black-colored zipper pouch which can be used to store the microphone when not in use. The design of the microphone is pretty standard. It has a silver mesh top and black body with a single button. It is tough and rigid and long-lasting.

General Rules for Use

• Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with your hand, as this will adversely affect microphone performance.
• Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source (such as the talker, singer, or instrument) and away from unwanted sources.
• Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired sound source.
• Work close to the microphone for extra bass response.
• Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.
• For better gain before feedback, use fewer microphones.
• Keep the distance between microphones at least three times the distance from each microphone to its source (“three to one rule”).
• Place microphones as far as possible from reflective surfaces.
• Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors.
• Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical noise and vibration.

Proximity Effect

Directional microphones progressively boost bass frequencies as the microphone is placed in closer proximity to the source. This phenomenon, known as proximity effect, can be used to create a warmer, more powerful sound.

Avoiding Pickup of Unwanted Sound Sources

Place the microphone so that unwanted sound sources, such as monitors and loudspeakers, are directly behind it. To minimize feedback and ensure optimum rejection of unwanted sound, always test microphone placement before a performance.
