What is the guidance for an imam who brings his mouth close to the microphone during the quiet prayer so that his voice is heard?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some imams recite in the prayer while close to the microphone in the quiet prayer. Some imams recite in the quiet prayer while close to the microphone, so their voice is apparent to the people. He says: Is this permissible?

Answer:
No, this disturbs the people. This disturbs the people; it turns the quiet prayer into a loud one. Should he not refrain from doing this? He should move away from the microphone, because most imams put their mouth in the microphone and shout and scream at the people. This is not permissible in the prayer. He should move away from the microphone and keep his voice balanced so that he is heard by those behind him, without causing any disturbance. Yes.
