Microphone Best Practices • Keep handheld microphones 4-6 inches (102-152 mm) from the mouth (about the width of a hand). “P-pops” are loud sounds created by the release of breath when saying letters like “p” or “b”. To avoid P-pops, keep handheld microphones below the mouth, angled toward the nose at a 45° angle. Do not point the front of the microphone straight at the mouth.
