Auto Level Mode
Use the following suggestions as a great starting point for your most common recording needs. Keep in mind that there are
many effective ways to mic a voice. The closer you can get to the microphone, the better, but Auto Level Mode really helps to
get you sounding your best. Experiment to find which mic placement works best for you.

Near

For podcast and voice recording applications. Position the microphone in front of and as close to your face as possible. Speak
directly into the mic, 1-6 inches (2.54 - 15 cm) away for a more intimate voice sound with maximum rejection of off-axis sounds.
Make additional gain adjustments if necessary.

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: Ensure that the microphone is directly pointed towards the source. If possible, experiment with mic placement to find
where it sounds best. Make additional gain adjustments as necessary.
