Struggling with poor sound from your pastor's headset? The problem might not be your sound system—it’s likely mic placement. Even the best headset microphone will sound bad if it’s positioned incorrectly.
Common Headset Mic Issues
If your pastor or speaker’s audio sounds off, it could be due to:
Muffled or weak sound – The mic isn’t picking up enough signal.
Plosives and breath noise – Harsh “P” and “B” sounds overpower the mix.
Rustling or distortion – The mic is rubbing against hair, beards, or clothing.
Inconsistent volume – The mic moves around as the speaker talks.
These problems can distract from the message and make it harder for people to stay engaged.
Fix Your Mic Placement
The good news? Most of these issues are easy to fix with proper headset mic placement. A few small adjustments can make a huge difference in clarity, consistency, and overall sound quality.
