- Vocalists tend to eat their mics. Even as this works well for singers
who know what they are doing, it is not appropriate for speaking and
general mic work.

- Avoid high temperatures, dust, dampness, high humidity, physical shocks,
etc.
- Do not swing the mic and throw it around.
- Don't blow into the mic. The diaphragm is designed to respond to sound
waves, not wind.

- Don't subject microphones to volume levels greater than their design
capabilities.
