** Folks - we have here a REAL LIVE ONE !!!
This German language site uses automated translation to produce other

Which is of course a recipe for disaster and much potential hilarity.
Only a few seconds perusal found this gem:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Close miking
if the distance to the microphone is very low. Low frequencies are then
weighted disproportionately, depending on the voice sounds fuller view,
full, dull or deep. The proximity effect occurs, however, not all
microphones on both, but is a specialty of condenser microphones.
These are but the great majority dar. on the market in the area of
Ansteckmikros there are even almost only condenser microphones (electret or
more precisely). Dynamic microphones can be found there as good as ever.
However, they have no proximity effect.
The proximity effect is both a curse and a blessing. Sound engineers who
wish to receive a neutral signal as pure as possible and will try to
eliminate the proximity effect. Singer and actor, however this effect
because he is like the voice of more pressure. So one can often observe that
the acts just eat it on stage at live concerts almost her microphone.
