How to use

Connect the microphone to a computer USB port using the included cable and select it as the input device in your operating system or recording software.

Adjust input levels in your recording software to avoid clipping while maintaining adequate signal level. No external power or audio interface is required for basic operation.

Recommendations

For best results, use a pop filter or windscreen to reduce plosive sounds when recording vocals, and place the microphone on a stable stand or boom arm to minimize handling noise. Monitor input levels and use basic room treatment or positioning to reduce room reflections and background noise.
