Diagram on Mic Technique (Photo: J. Waits)
It’s so clever when radio station management has to resort to drawings and diagrams in order to explain proper radio and engineering techniques to DJs. In one of my favorites, this sign portrays proper mic technique, saying: “do not speak into the top of the mic! Tilt it up!” The same station also had a handy schematic of the board which showed where all the knobs should be in order for music to be heard over the airwaves.
