[MV] microphone position

[Norm Birtwistle]

Hi Mike,

I have exactly the same dilemma but have resolved it by going to Radio 
Shack and buying a microphone desktop stand and holder. Just clamp the 
headset and adjust the microphone arm and you're away to the races. 
Place the microphone about one inch away from the corner of your mouth 
and you should be all set. The headset will stick up in the air but that 
will just give people something to talk about. It works for me using 
iListen.

Good luck.
