In addition to a mic's off-axis rejection, I can't p= ut enough emphasis on the usefulness of a good "voice channel" mi= c preamp that, among other things, has a downward expander/noise gate to ki= ll sound in between sentences. It takes a little bit of fiddling to set up, to make sure it's not truncating trailing-off w= ords or bouncing along on the noise floor, but otherwise I consider it a se= cret weapon.

Or do yo= u merely need to tame a not-too-bad environment, which can be done by movin= g equipment on the other sides of walls or putting them in enclosures, a few sound deadening panels to knock= down the liveliness of a room, and maybe a mic screen like the Mud Guard t= o cut down further on off-axis noise and reflections?
