Far
Ideal when the sound source is further from the microphone, like in gaming when the person needs to be closer to the screen
or gaming console. Aim the microphone directly at the sound source. Place the microphone 6 to 18 inches (15 to 45 cm) away
from the sound source. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary.
Tip: BecausetheMV7ishighlydirectional,ensurethatthemicrophoneisdirectlypointedtowardsthesource.Ifpossible,ex-
periment with mic placement to find where it sounds best. Make additional gain adjustments as necessary.
