live performance
and louder sources
Wide stereo to increase separation between sources. Equalization further improves defi-
nition by reducing frequencies that can make the instrumentation sound crowded.
Advanced Mic Settings
After selecting the preset mode, fine-tune your sound with limiter, compressor, and equalizer settings. These settings are re-
tained in the microphone when using other audio and video recording applications.
Limiter
Toggle the limiter on or off to prevent distortion from volume peaks in your recording.
Compressor
Choose no compression, or select light or heavy compression to control volume when your sound source is dynamic. Quiet
signals are boosted and loud signals are lowered.
Equalizer
Change the preset modes to hear the DSP changes, and use the equalizer to boost or cut bands of frequencies to improve
sound clarity.
Note: Equalization within presets will not be displayed. However, the EQ icon in the advanced settings status bar indicates user-selected equalization.
Equalization changes are displayed in the equalizer image.
EQ persists between preset mode changes.
Applications
This section suggests microphone placement for typical use cases. Keep in mind that there are many effective ways to record
a given source. Experiment with the following microphone placement and settings to find what works best.
Podcast and Voice Recording
Set the microphone to the Speech mode. Speak directly into the front of the microphone at a distance of 2-12 inches (5-30 cm)
away. Speaking closer to the microphone results in more bass response, similar to voices on a radio broadcast. Make addition-
al gain adjustments if necessary.
