A) Moving the microphone farther away from the source will reduce the proximity effect as it is caused by the microphone being too close to the source.
B) Using an omnidirectional microphone will also reduce proximity effect as it has a more even response to sounds coming from all directions, instead of focusing on one source.
C) A low-cut switch or high-pass filter will help in reducing proximity effect by removing the low frequencies from the audio signal.
D) Turning down the low frequencies on your mixer will also help in reducing proximity effect, but this may also affect other parts of the audio signal that may need those frequencies.

Thus, to completely get rid of proximity effect, all of the above choices should be used, as they work together to eliminate the unwanted effect.
