Functions
Polar Pattern Selection
To select the desired pick-up pattern, such as Cardioid, Bi-directional, Stereo, or Omni-
directional, simply tap the center part of the button.
Cardioid
The microphone captures sound sources directly in front
of it, resulting in a rich and full-bodied audio quality. This
makes it well-suited for various applications like
podcasts, gaming streaming, vocals, and voice-overs.
Remember to ensure that the front of the microphone is
always facing towards you for optimal performance.
Bi-Directional
The microphone is designed to record audio from both
the front and rear, making it ideal for capturing duets or
conducting two-person interviews. This feature allows for
simultaneous recording of multiple sound sources,
enhancing versatility and facilitating high-quality
recordings in various scenarios.
Stereo
By utilizing both the left and right channels, the
microphone captures a wide and realistic sound image.
This makes it perfect for recording instruments like
acoustic guitar or capturing the harmonious blend of a
choir. The ability to capture a broad stereo field
enhances the audio quality, resulting in immersive and
lifelike recordings.

11
Omni-Directional
The microphone has an omnidirectional pick-up
pattern, which evenly captures sound from all directions
around the mic. This makes it ideal for situations where
you want to capture the ambient atmosphere and
create a sense of "being there." It is well-suited for
recording a live performance of a band, conducting a
multi-person podcast, or participating in a conference
call, ensuring that all voices and surrounding sounds are picked up accurately and
immersively.
RGB Modes
There are a total of four lighting modes available: single-color gradient, single-color
breathing, static single-color option, and dynamic multi-color gradient.
Single Color Gradient
The RGB automatically transitions with a flowing single-color
gradient.
Single Color Breathing
The RGB automatically transitions with a single color
breathing effect.

12
Static Single Color Option
You have the option to manually select the RGB light color, and it will remain in the color
of your choice. The available color options, in order, are blue, cyan, bluish green, green,
yellow, red, purple, and white.
Dynamic Multi Color Gradient
The RGB lighting automatically transitions with
flowing gradient lights.
RGB Button
The RGB button is located at the bottom of the microphone. To turn the RGB lighting on
or off, simply long press the button for 3 seconds. Tapping the button allows you to
select different RGB modes or colors.
Additionally, there is a power-off memory function. Whenever the RGB light is turned on
again, it will retain the same RGB effect it had before being turned off. However, the
three dynamic changing modes will start again from the default color.

13
Mute Button

When the mic is active, the LED indicator light will be green, and when the mic is muted,
it will turn red.

important to note that the mute function does not affect the RGB lighting effects.
Gain Knob
You can adjust the microphone input volume by turning the corresponding control. It is
recommended to initially lower the mic gain and then gradually increase it until you
reach the desired loudness.
