Microphones

Do not alter the position of your microphones; include points in your check list for the control of the position of clip-on microphones and headsets (distance and position to mouth). If you are using head set microphones, be sure that the cable does not touch the microphone arm or other hard surfaces when the speaker moves. The sound will be transmitted to the microphone.

Also add a check point that batteries of microphones are checked before every recording session. Always keep fresh batteries available.

Never change the type of microphone during a recording phase. If you have to (e.g. because a microphone is broken), document the change in the recording protocol and documentation.
