Yup. Once you get out past a certain point, though, this "proximity effect" is minimized. A foot or so is good enough, I think. You actually are getting *too much* lower end when you get in closer than that.
Many a cappella groups take advantage of this - the bass singer will 'swallow' the mic in order to pump up his lower partials.
