IMPIRTANT 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. 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, just restart Audacity AFTER plugging the USB into
your computer and click on the FIFINE microphone option.
Positioning the top-address mic
To achieve the best frequency response, it is important to have the mic capsule (the top
of the mic) pointed at the user's mouth, instrument or any other sound source.The best
range is 2 to 4 inch.
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.
