I would say this article is very simple to follow and understand and perfect for beginners who have no idea what they are doing but want or need to include mics in their arsenal of tools. Having worked with a variety of different mics before for a variety of different situation ranging from conferences and guest speakers to musical and concert productions, I would say that understanding the basics of how to use a mic for a specific situation is not that difficult but mastering the different nuances of what mic to use when and where to place it to get the ideal result take a little bit more work. I feel like this article, though short, was a good introduction for people new to the sound world and or people who need a quick refresher. It was pretty comprehensive and covered a variety of important topics related to mics.
I think this was a good article about the basic of using microphones in a performance, it has a lot of great information to say about how placement effects the sound and I think that should be highlighted since that is something i learned very quickly when I was an A2, as someone who came from a school who only clipped mics onto clothes the whole places mics on an actors head thing is something new to me but it makes a lot more sense in my eyes(it’s way better for picking up actors voicing than a mic on clothes would be, mic on clothes could work for actors with minor speaking roles but for main people I think a mic placed near the face is better). I do think there is more this article can say, it doesn’t really go in depth on the real vitals of using mic(gain, feedback, sound mixing).
