QFX M-192 Ultra High Resolution USB Microphone Instruction Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the M-192. This USB microphone provides seamless plug-and-play connectivity to Windows and Mac systems while offering pristine 24bit, 192kHz audio quality for podcasting, game streaming, conferencing, voiceovers, as well as vocal and instrument recording.

GETTING STARTED

USING THE TRIPOD STAND

The M-192 package includes the microphone, mic mount (1), tripod stand (2) and USB cable. To begin, screw the microphone threads into the desktop tripod stand as shown. To balance the microphone properly, set one tripod leg toward the microphone. You may set the mic either directly in front of you or off to one side as shown. The front of the microphone (with volume control and headphone jack) should always be facing the person speaking. Please note that the microphone offers excellent off-axis sound pickup since it is designed to pick up sound directly in front of the mic and minimize the sounds picked up from the back of the mic.

USING TELESCOPING BOOM ARM AND POP FILTER (FOR M-192 STUDIO ONLY)

The M-192 Studio pack includes the tripod stand (2) for desktop use as well as a telescoping boom arm (6) and pop filter (5) for enhancing your home studio setup and clearing space off your desk.

To use the telescoping boom arm, attach the clamp (7) to a table, desk or workstation monitor shelf (with up to 1.75” shelf thickness). Screw the mic mount onto the end of the boom arm threads and then screw the microphone threads into the mic mount (1). Then slide the boom arm/mic.

assembly into the clamp and adjust it as needed. The pop filter screen (5) can be clamped directly onto the telescoping boom arm and positioned in front of the mic to reduce plosive, or popping sound noise from entering the mic recording. The pop filter is also effective at protecting the microphone from moisture getting inside the microphone grill. Plug the USB cable (4) into the mic and your computer.

CONNECTING THE M-192
Turn the headphone volume knob all the way down prior to connecting the USB mic. Connect the M-192 directly to a USB port on a compatible Windows and Mac system as follows:

WINDOWS 7, 8.1 AND 10 WITH USB 1.1/2.0/3.0 CONNECTION
Connect the USB cable to the mic USB port and other end to your Window computer Select the Control Panel from the Start Menu Select the Sound icon from the Control Panel In the Recording tab, select “M-192”. Adjust the sound to the appropriate recording level. In the Playback tab, select “M-192” Select the “M-192” recording and playback device in you preferred software application.

MAC OS 10.10 OR LATER WITH USB 1.1/2.0/3.0 CONNECTION
Connect the USB cable to the mic USB port and other end to your Mac computer Open System Preferences and select the Sound icon. Click the input tab to select “M-192” Set the output volume to maximum level. Select the “M-192” recording and playback device in you preferred software application.

Connect your preferred headphones to the M-192 headphone jack. Launch your favorite Windows/Mac game, podcasting application or recording software, and select “M-192” as both your playback and recording device. Begin speaking/performing, and slowly turn the mic gain up to an acceptable level. If the microphone record level meter in your software extends well into the red, then your sound recording will be clipping, distorting, etc. If that happens, then turn the microphone gain down so the level stays below the red clipping range.
