Installation:
Always check the device for damage before use. Use the original packaging or suitable transport
or storage packaging to protect the product optimally from influences such as dust or moisture,
etc. when not in use.
Note!
The following points should be observed to avoid serious problems or damage.
To prevent damage to the sensitive microphone capsule, never remove the
microphone grille.
Never pull or plug-in the cable during operation.
Dropping the microphone can cause serious damage to both the interior and
the housing.
The microphone should be stored safely after each use / placed in the
transport packaging.
Please use only slightly damp cloths for cleaning.
Only clean the microphone when it is not connected / in use.
Liquids of any kind should be kept away from the product. The penetration of
liquid can cause serious damage to the technology.
Observe the specified sound pressure level/noise level spacing to prevent
damage to the diaphragm caused by extreme levels.
Avoid feedback by keeping the microphone away from activated speakers that
are simultaneously monitoring the signal. If necessary, switch off the speakers
completely.

ENGLISH
Directional Characteristics:
Microphones have one or more directional characteristics in order to achieve better sound
recording results, depending on the application. Sound arriving at the capsule from certain angles
can be erased, damped or not influenced at all. How strong or weak these effects are depends on
the microphone. The main polar patterns are omnidirectional and figure-eight, while the cardioid,
wide cardioid, supercardioid and hypercardioid characteristics are mixed.
Example application 1: Omnidirectional
Since the omnidirectional characteristic has no suppression due to the design of the microphone,
sound from all directions can be picked up almost uniformly.
Example application 2: Cardioid
Sound hitting the rear is suppressed or damped by the cardioid characteristic. The focus here is
on the direct signal.
FAME Audio USB Vocal Kit with cardioid polar pattern:
The included USB condenser microphone features a cardioid characteristic that effectively cancels
or attenuates sound from the rear (at 180° or below). This microphone is therefore ideal for
voice, vocal, voice-over and instrument pickups.

Cleaning:
A regular cleaning of the device from impurities and dust increases the durability of the product.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply before cleaning it! Never clean the appliance
wet! Optical lenses should be cleaned with a dry microfiber cloth to optimize light output.
Ventilation grilles and openings should always be cleaned of dust and dirt. Suitable compressed
air sprays are recommended for this application.
Symptom
Troubleshooting
No sound
Check the USB cable for damage (cuts, kinks,
etc.).
Check the plug connection
Microphone with DAW activation or direct
monitoring activation
Microphone may need to be calibrated. Please
read the software manual of the DAW in question.
Delayed sound
Change the buffer size in the DAW settings. The
lower the number, the lower the latency. (Note:
with a low buffer size, the computer needs a
higher performance. Depending on the computer,
this can lead to higher performance losses).
