This is not at all true of radio mics. Radio stations use what is known as a
dynamic mic for just this reason. Dynamic mics are very different from
condenser mics which most use hooked up thru a USB device. Ala, the snowball
mics, & most others which you'd buy in most places. A condenser mic is a
wide range mic which will pick up noise around them. You can talk in to them
from all sides & the audio which goes in to them will be picked up. A
dynamic mic, you have to be right up on, in. You talk directly in to them.
If you get off to the side, in to the side. The audio will be lost or,
greatly reduced. When I have a guest in the studio. One of the last things I
say to them before we go live is, kiss that thang... Not literally, but, I
think we all get the idea. Gotta be with in 6 intches or so. Not much above
or below it. If the mic is sitting on a table stand, yes, perhaps the table
stand will pick up some vibrations from the table. But, most stations mount
their mics on wall mounts with shock mounts at the base of them. Even our
talk booth which has 2 table top mics have shock mounts in the bottom of the
table top stand. The other 2 at each end of the table are on shock mount
wall mounts.
