Something that's pretty amazing (about this microphone/audio recorder combo) is that, at the "BOOM" proximity, you can push the proximity to 4 feet (instead of the normal max. BOOM proximity distance of 3 feet) and it still sounds good. Pushing it to 4 on the MIC. BOOST (gain dial on mic) adds extra BASS (I think it's due to the pre-amp in the mic increasing in BASS at the higher MIC. BOOST level). This actually helps fill in for the missing BASS/LOWS that result from using so much LOWCUT (both on the mic and on the audio recorder). I think it really needs all of that LOWCUT because of the poor shock mount and imperfect side/back rejection capabilities of the mic, so it's good to have this workaround!

So, it's interesting that the following proximities work really well:

1. "CLOSE" = MIC. BOOST @1
2. "VLOG" = MIC. BOOST @2
3. "BOOM" = MIC. BOOST @3
4. "BOOM" (OPTION 2) = MIC. BOOST @4 (for 4 feet)

As you may know, the further a microphone is from the sound source, the more it will struggle with gathering "clean" audio (because the background noise will also enter the mic). The good news is (for this test, anyway) that we're using the 32-bit float Zoom F2 recorder, so we can capture at a fairly low level, and increase the levels during post-production (in an audio editing program). Therefore, after some testing, I found I can get away with a pretty low MIC. BOOST level of 2 at this "BOOM" proximity. That amount of MIC. BOOST seems to capture the least amount of background noise (this mic does not reject from the sides very well, and certainly not from the back) therefore resulting in the cleanest audio I could get from this combination.

RFI NOTES:
In regard to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) this mic showed the typical "BAD" performance when held within a few inches of an iPhone (13 Pro Max) but is safe to use at a distance of 3 feet.
