Make sure you use the
windscreen that is included with the mic. Also you can make sure the hipass filter on the mic
channel is engaged. If it allows you to select the frequency for the hipass try to
play with how high you can sweep it until it starts to
effect the sound of the speakers voice too much. You can
roll a little low end out on the EQ. Also, if you have a
compressor, you can insert it on the
channel to help. Don't compress it too much to start with, just enough to compress she
plosive stuff to make it not as noticeable.
All little things you can try to see if it helps. Of course, nothing is better than training your speakers. Just tell them to speak at a comfortable volume, and not lean in toward the mic. That helps sometimes.
I have also found that they lean in when they can't hear themselves too well, thinking the audience can't hear them too. I have taken to placing a pair of monitors on
stage and running the
podium mic to them so that the speakers can hear themselves a
bit.
Platform guests on
stage also appreciate this, as they often times cannot hear the
speaker too well since they are (most likely) behind the main speakers.
