I know people are supposed to be careful when placing magnets near electronics, but can a PK ring be worn while holding a handheld microphone without causing any problems? I'm worried about it damaging the mic, creating feedback, or causing some other issues.
Thanks in advance. |

I don't know if it will cause problems or not, but why not hold the mic in the opposite hand? If that's not an option, you can use a gim-crack mic holder, and have both hands free.

There is a 90% chance that it will do absolutely nothing to the mic.
A 9% chance that it could make some noise. And a 1% chance that there could be some damage. And that's just being safe. It's more like a 99.9% chance it doing nothing. But I don't know what type of mic you have, it could be a piece of junk. But a real mic... nothing. Randi |

If it doesn't happen to be a dynamic mic then I wouldn't expect any problems. If it IS dynamic (like an SM-58) then as you move the ring in close proximity to the mic you MAY create some very low-frequency sound similar to a wind blast. If that were an issue I would suggest to roll off the bass response of that mic channel - or use another type of mic! I wouldn't expect permanent damage to the mic or other performance issues.

I do it all the time with my Mipro / Shure mikes and has never had a problem.
You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you are all the same...
