The “proximity effect” is a phenomenon where low-frequency sounds are emphasized when a microphone is placed very close to the sound source. This effect is particularly noticeable with directional microphones, such as cardioid, supercardioid, and hypercardioid microphones. As the sound source gets closer to the microphone, the bass increases, potentially resulting in a warmer and richer sound quality.
