General Functions
Polar Patterns
- Cardioid
- The cardioid polar pattern focuses on focusing audio capture in front of the capsule and minimizes unwanted ambient sound from the other sides and back of the microphone.
- This polar pattern is suitable for such situations when you want to pick up specific sound sources, such as recording vocals, guitars, pianos, stringed instruments, and more.
- Omnidirectional
- The omnidirectional polar pattern will in principle pick up sound equally from all directions.
- Whether the sound resource is from the front, the side, or even back, the microphone will record the signals all with equal gain.
- This polar pattern can be very useful in applications where sound needs to be recorded from multiple directions, such as a musical performance where there is a band of musical instruments in front and a choir singing behind.
- Bidirectional
- A bidirectional polar pattern is a figure-of-eight pattern and picks up sound with equal sensitivity from two opposite directions, the front and back of the microphone, and with low sensitivity from the sides.
- This polar pattern is best suited for interviews, Q&A lectures or presentations, acoustic instruments, and live recordings of jazz and acoustic groups.
- High-Pass Filter
- Sounds that are 120Hz or lower will be filtered.
- A -10 dB Pad Switch
- The audio will be recorded in -10dB if it is enabled in case the recording gets distorted due to loud sound sources, or the subject’s voice is not heard due to ambient noise.
How to Use
- Mount BY-M1000 Pro on 3/8″ and 5/8″ microphone stands or tripods.
- Note: When changing the mic position, always be sure to loosen the adjustment knob first to ensure you do not damage the shock mount.
- Rotate the locking knob to adjust the microphone fits your position.
- Note: When recording any sound source, whether it be vocals, instruments or anything else, always spend time experimenting with microphone placement to ensure you are picking up the best possible sound.
- Adjust the microphone position as many times as you need to achieve your demand.
- Mounted the supplied pop filter in front of a microphone.
- Note: The “BOYA” Logo on the face of the BY-M1000 Pro indicates the front of the microphone and the pickup area of the capsule.
- The “BOYA” Logo should always be facing towards the sound source that you wish to record.
- Insert the supplied XLR cable into the microphone
