    The closer you get to the mic, the more warmth and bass you’ll get. For a “big” vocal sound with maximum presence, get the vocalist within one to three inches of the capsule (microphone head). For a lighter sound, place iRig Mic Studio further from the vocalist. The use of a Pop Filter helps avoiding plosives during vocal recording.
