Typical Frequency Response Curve
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Setting your software levels
Correct adjustment of microphone level is important for optimum performance.
Ideally, the microphone level should be as high as possible without
overloading the input of your computer. If you hear distortion, or if your
recording program shows levels that are consistently overloaded (at peak
levels), turn the microphone volume (or level) down, either through your
control panel (or system preferences) settings, or through your recording
software. If your recording program shows insufficient level, you can increase
the
microphone gain either from the control panel (or system preferences) settings
or through your recording program.
Selecting software
You have many choices in recording software. Audacity, available for free
online at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/, is a widely used software
program that provides basic recording software.
Note: The microphone must be plugged in first and secondly turning on the
recording software.
Positioning your microphone
It is important to position the microphone directly in line (on axis) with the
person speaking/ singing or instrument (or other sound source) to achieve the
best frequency response of the microphone.For use in speaking/singing
applications, the ideal placement for the microphone is directly in front of
the person speaking/singing. The same placement is optimal when miking an
instrument such as an acoustic guitar, drums or piano. Experiment with
different mic placements to find the best sound for your particular setup.
Protecting your microphone
Avoid leaving your microphone in the open sun or in areas where temperatures
exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely high humidity should
also be avoided.
Choose your output setting
When you plug microphone to your pc, it cancels the audio from any other audio
file played or there’s no sound on the playback,you need to manually select
the “speaker (Realtek High Definition Audio)” as the default playback device.
