How do your microphones handle the proximity effect?
The proximity effect is a natural acoustic phenomenon that occurs when a directional microphone is placed close to a sound source. As distance decreases, low-frequency content is naturally amplified—this is a physical behavior, not a digital one.
All of our microphones are designed to capture this effect with high accuracy, allowing you to record the natural proximity behavior just like you would with classic large-diaphragm microphones. If you're looking for a warm, full-bodied sound, move in closer. If you want a more balanced tone, try increasing your distance from the mic.
You now have the ability to enhance or reduce the proximity effect after recording. A dedicated Proximity control lets you dial in more or less low-end, giving you creative flexibility during mixdown—even if the original mic position wasn’t ideal.
Additionally, the plugin includes a built-in Rumble Filter that can be set anywhere from 10 Hz to 160 Hz. This helps reduce low-end build-up or stage noise without needing a separate high-pass filter.
