How to Get Lip Microphones to Work
A ribbon (lip) microphone isn't much different than a standard vocal mic other than the fact that it is much smaller. These lip mics' small design helps to cut out a majority of background and ambient noise. This is a very useful microphone for a broadcaster and was introduced by the BBC in Britain. As long as you know where to position yourself in relation to the mic, you can get the most out of the device.
