Mic placement made easy Right out of the box , the Profile delivers a natural , warm sound that accentuates the body and presence of your voice . Interestingly enough , you can even hear this difference on platforms that compress the audio ,” explains Franke . “ Having a great capsule is essential for this – but placing the microphone correctly is just as important . It should be positioned within 15 cm ( 6 in ) from your mouth or the sound source to ensure both clarity and warmth .”
The Profile can be tilted for optimum positioning , the selflocking joint will ensure that the mic stays in position . 3 / 8 ” and 5 / 8 ” connectors at the bottom allow the mic to be used with third-party table stands . Users who are looking for more sophisticated placement possibilities should opt for the Profile Streaming Set , which comes with a 3-point
self-locking boom arm . With its sleek and modern design , including integrated cable management , the boom arm is ideal for any on-camera applications .
Stegemerten concludes : “ To round things off , Profile is made from metal , so it will be a rugged audio companion throughout – no matter whether you ’ re just getting started or are a seasoned pro and looking to simplify your set-up .”
