How to use

Connect the PodMic to a mixer, audio interface or console using a standard XLR cable (XLR-3). Position the microphone with the grille facing the sound source and maintain an appropriate distance for the desired proximity effect—closer for more bass presence, further for a more natural tone. Adjust gain on the connected device to achieve a clean signal without clipping. The cardioid pattern reduces off-axis noise, so orient the rear of the microphone toward unwanted sound sources.
