Hey I discovered this forum a few days ago and have been soaking up all the great information. Thanks to everyone for their committment to this great board!
I have a question that I feel kinda stupid for asking, but I just can't seem to figure it out.
I'm new to using condenser mikes, and this week I rented an APEX 450 mike with a tube pre-amp.

What I can figure out is how I should position the mike in relation to the singer. In other words, does the mike have a "front" and a "back"? I see these mikes hung, pointing down, and placed pointing upwards and sometimes pointing directly towards the singer's mouth.
Maybe it doesn't matter, but because the internal diaphram seems to have a front and back, it seems like it should.
Any insight?
