<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Sounds to me like the gain is set too high.
That makes the mic too "sensitive" and it will pick up every little
movement. At the church I go to I set the gain lower. Then
I </FONT><FONT face="Book Antiqua">work with the volume control on the mic
to bring the volume level up to where I need it.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">You may need to fiddle with it a bit to find a
good balance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Also, make sure the person wearing it attaches it
about mid-chest high, and not right under their chin. Make sure the top of
the mic is not aimed at or touching their clothes but sticks straight up.
If a woman wears it, she should not have a long necklace on or it may bump
it. </FONT></DIV>

class=MsoNormal>We just installed a new sound system and we have new lapel
microphones to go with it. The first time we used them there
seemed to be a lot of buzzing/electronic popping coming through the mics as
people were moving around in their chairs, so I’m assuming it was static
electricity.<U></U><U></U></P>
