WELCOME

Congratulations on becoming an owner of Script, a premium USB microphone for podcasting, streaming, or recording. The script delivers broadcast-quality audio in an elegant, minimalist design that looks as good as it sounds. With plug ‘n play compatibility, it’s never been easier to start streaming in a matter of minutes on any Mac or PC. Script features a zero-latency stereo headphone output, adjustable volume, push-button mute, a dedicated pickup pattern switch, and an LED status indicator so you can know if you’re muted at a glance. The script brings the most important elements of a broadcast studio to your desk so you can sound your best wherever you are.

FEATURES

• DUAL CAPSULES Two 14mm electret condenser capsules deliver smooth, clear sound for podcasting, streaming, and video-conferencing.
• ZERO-LATENCY STEREO HEADPHONE OUTPUT Script features an industry-standard ¹/₈” headphone jack for simple and easy zero-latency monitoring for when you’re recording, streaming, or in a meeting.
• HEADPHONE VOLUME CONTROL Quickly adjust the volume of your headphones with the dedicated volume knob on the front of the microphone.
• MUTE BUTTON Press the headphone volume knob to instantly mute or unmute your microphone. A white LED indicates when the mic is active. A red LED indicates that your Script is muted.
• ARM MOUNT Script includes an arm mount adapter that screws onto the base of the microphone body. Once secured in place, you can easily attach Script to most boom arms, microphone stands, and desktop mounts.
• USB-C CONNECTION Script connects to any Mac or PC with the included USB-C to USB-A cable.
• PATTERN SELECTION Switch between cardioid and omni with a simple toggle switch on the back of Script.

GETTING STARTED WITH SCRIPT

First, remove Script from its packaging and attach the included arm mount to the bottom of the microphone. Rotate and tighten as needed so that the 512 logo and headphone volume knob are facing you and the microphone is firmly attached to the arm mount. You are now ready to attach Script to a microphone boom arm, mic stand, or desktop mount. Once mounted to your mic stand of choice, connect Script to your computer with the included USB-C to USB-A cable. The headphone volume knob/mute button should illuminate, which indicates that the microphone is now powered. When you are ready to record or begin streaming, confirm that the 512 Audio logo and volume knob are facing you. Next, position the microphone a few inches away from your mouth. That’s it! You’re all set to capture your voice with broadcast-quality audio. Enjoy!

The script works seamlessly with the apps you already use including Garageband, iMovie, Zoom, Facetime, Skype, Audacity, Logic Pro, and more.

POLAR PATTERNS

Script’s unique dual-capsule design gives you the flexibility to choose the right pickup pattern in any scenario.

• CARDIOID Recommended for recording podcasts, live-streaming, singing, and voiceovers. The cardioid pickup pattern records sound that is directly in front of the microphone and rejects ambient noise around you.
• OMNIDIRECTIONAL Ideal for multi-person podcasts, a group conference call, or when you want to capture the ambiance of a live performance. The omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all around the mic, ideal for multi-person content or calls.

SIDE ADDRESS

Script is a side-address microphone – in cardioid mode, the sound is captured from the front, so you should speak or sing facing the 512 Audio logos and volume knob. When in Omni mode, Script captures sound from all directions. If you are in a conference room with multiple people, it may be best to place the microphone in the center so all your participants are captured at a relatively equal volume.
