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.

Protecting your microphone

Avoid leaving your microphone in the open air or in areas where

temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods.

Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.
