Because the operating systems of most hosts and multimedia devices are developing
continually, it is impossible to guarantee 100% compatibility with both newer and older
operating systems and software. Your dealer is often up to date in terms of any problems
that can occur when combining this device with older versions of common operating
systems, and will likely have some troubleshooting options if you need help.
Devine M-Mic USB microphones do not work when connected to:
- USB port on Bluetooth multimedia speakers
- USB/(mic) port on PA mixers
- USB port on MP3 modules on PA mixers, active speakers, DJ mixers, DJ controllers
- USB battery chargers
- USB ports on auto radios
In some cases, Devine M-Mic USB mics work with game consoles that are equipped with
USB ports for multimedia devices, but it is impossible to guarantee compatibility. Please
consult the user manual of your console.
Upgrades (Pop filter, windshield)
The mic capsules and USB converter of the Devine M-Mic USB microphone have already
been optimised. It comes complete with a tripod and a shock mount, and positioning and
use with other microphone stands and arms has been explained earlier in this manual.
Another way to optimise vocals and speech is to use a pop filter. This is a circular frame
made of metal or plastic with a nylon or metal mesh that is placed directly in front of the
microphone. They also feature a flexible arm for optimal positioning. A pop filter prevents
unwanted plosives that are created when the sounds P, K, S, T and F are pronounced. The
best results are achieved when the vocalist or speaker is positioned as closely to the
microphone as possible.
If you're making recordings outdoors where there is a lot of wind, then it is recommended to
use a windscreen. This prevents any wind sounds from being captured that can disrupt the
recording.
A windscreen is usually a black cap made of porous foam that filters out wind and unwanted
noise without sacrificing audio quality. Please ask your dealer for advice about suitable
windscreens.
