Microphone Uni Directional

Suggest a Suitable Microphone?

Q: I have a Digital Audio system AWIA NSX-330. It has a Mic input for karaoke.
The Mic supplied with the system works well only when it is held at a distance of one inch or less from the mouth.
I purchased a Sony F-V220 Uni-directional Dynamic microphone hoping that it will work when holding it at a distance of 6 to 8 inches from the mouth, but the result is the same. This also works well when held almost touching the mouth.
Is it the system not working properly or the microphone selection is wrong?
Please suggest the correct type of microphone.

A: For karaoke, the mike has to be very close to your mouth. Otherwise you’ll get feedback.

You might consider a wireless headset mike, then it can be close to your mouth without holding it.
