Proximity effect is the increase in low (bass) in the frequency response when the sound source is close to the microphone. The closer the microphone is voice or instrument recording, capture more serious.
Proximity effect is a side-effect of designing microphones directional polar pattern, which is why omnidirectional microphones do not suffer.
Depending on the design of microphone proximity effect can result in a bass boost of up to 16 dB, usually focused below 100 Hz
A vocalists they like the proximity effect because it makes the voice sound more "heavy" and full bodied. However, one must be careful, increased frequencies in the signal can occupy the entire available dynamic range, causing distortion. Also, if the singer is on the point of "eating the microphone" :-), but there is no distortion in the mix rocking or preamp, you may already have been introduced to the signal distorisión overloading the diaphragm or electronics of the microphone.
