Bias for mics does not "improve the sound" of a mic. Rather, bias makes
electret mics work (you'll get no sound from them without bias), and can
cause problems with dynamic mics. At the very least, bias can cause
distortion with dynamic mics, and at worst might damage them. This is
NOT a topic for experimentation. If you want to know more, I suggest
that you study how mics work.
