People often shop for better audio before they fully use the microphone they already have.
What positioning changes first
Good mic placement affects:
- clarity
- background noise
- mouth detail
- room tone
That is why distance and angle deserve attention before another gear upgrade.
The bottom line
Positioning is one of the cheapest audio upgrades available. Use it before assuming the answer is always another microphone.
