Important Notice

Setting volume levels

Ideally, the mic level should be as hight as possible without overloading. When you use

USB connection, you can adjust the volume by following steps. If you hear distortion, or

your recording program shows levels that are consistently overloaded (at peak levels),

turn down the mic volume (or level) by the mic gain knob or computer setting. If your

recording program shows insufficient level, turn up the mic volume (or level) by the mic

gain knob or computer setting. When you use XLR connection, you can adjust the output

volume on sound card, mixer or audio interface to set an appropriate volume.

Selecting software

Many recordings software can be chose. Audacity, available for free online is a widely

used software. If you plug in the mic AFTER you load Audacity, it may not recognize the

mic while it may still record, the results will be unsatisfactory. If that happens, restart

Audacity AFTER plugging the USB into your computer and click on fifine Microphone

option.

Positioning your microphone

To achieve the best frequency response, it is important to have the mic capsule (the top

of the mic) pointed at the user’s mount, instrument or any other sound source. The best

range is 2 to 6 inches. (Recommend to se the mic gain knob about 30% to get better

effect).

Protecting your microphone

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

110°F (43°C) for extended periods. Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.

Tips:

1. 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 payback, you

need to manually select the “speaker (Relatek High-Definition Audio)” as the

default playback device, if you want to output computer audio via the computer

built-in speaker.

2. There is no XLR cable included.
