Polar Response

1. The microphone is powered by your device’s USB
port, meaning that in most instances you can just
plug the microphone in and get started right away.
For non-standard USB ports, a powered USB hub
may be required.
2. This is a “plug/play” USB device, compatible with
both Windows and Mac computers.
3. An ideal starting point for the reference is to place
MIC directly in front of the vocalist. 15 cm (6”)
distance. Moving the vocalist, a little closer will
make the vocal sound more intimate and fuller, while
moving the vocalist back will give the vocal a little
more air or room sound, (you will hear increased
bass or low frequency response when the sound
source is very close to the mic).
4. Experimentation should be made with the angle from
which the microphone is set, as different results can
be achieved depending on the angle and distance of
the microphone.
Power Requirements

1. Plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port of
the microphone and connect the other end to the
computer. After connecting the audio cable, you can
start using the microphone.
2. If you need to adjust the gain control, turn the knob
on the front of the mic to the right.
To manually adjust your input level via your computer’s
system preferences, use the following instructions
relevant to your device platform/operating system.
