SELECTING SOFTWARE
FREQUENCY RESPONSE DIAGRAM
You have many choices in recording software.
Select the program that will best suit your audio needs and budget.
SETTING YOUR SOFTWARE LEVELS
The correct adjustment of microphone level is Important for optimum performance.
Ideally, the microphone level should be as high as possible without overloading
the input of your computer.
If you hear distortion or if your recording program shows levels that are consist-
ently overloaded (at peak levels), turn the microphone volume or level) down. Do
this using the control panel (or system preferences) settings or through your
recording software.
If your recording program shows insu cient level, you can increase the micro-
phone gain either from the control panel (or system preferences) settings or
through your recording program.
POSITIONING YOUR MICROPHONE
It is important to position the microphone directly in line (on axis) with the person
speaking/singing or instrument (or other sound source) to achieve the best
frequency response of the microphone.
This requires the user to speak into the microphone from the Stadium symbol side
positioned towards the mouth. The distance from the mouth should be about 1
inch. or 10 - 40mm for optimal recording.
For use in speaking/singing applications, the ideal placement for the microphone is
directly in front of the person speaking/singing.
The same placement is optimal when you mic an instrument such as an acoustic
guitar, drums or piano. Experiment with di erent mic placements to nd the best
sound for your particular setup based on the Polar pattern selected.
