Headliner ROXY User Manual

setup
Roxy can be used on the included desktop stand, or can be mounted on any
microphone stand with standard 3/8" thread.
Using the Included Desktop Stand
Use the two thumb screws and rubber washers to mount the mic as per the
illustration below. Once mounted, set the angle of the mic so the front of the
capsule is pointing towards the sound source, and positioned around 7" to 12"
away from the source.
Using Other Stands
There is a mounting hole integrated into the body of the Roxy mic which can
be used to mount onto any standard 3/8" thread mic stand.
USB connection
Roxy is compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. The USB-C port is
located at the bottom of the mic. A special USB cable is included to enable
connections to devices that have either a USB-C or a USB-A port. A Lightning
adapter is also included to connect to iPhones and iPads.

Distortion: <-90dB (<0.003%)
Sampling rate: 44100Hz, 48000Hz
Resolution: 16 Bit
POLAR PATTERNS
A polar pattern defines how much
of the signal will be picked up by
the microphone from different
directions.
Cardioid is the most commonly
used polar pattern. In this setup,
the capsule is most sensitive
directly in front of the mic, and will
8
pick up less sound around the
sides and back of the mic. This is
ideal when there is only one
sound source, or when less
background noise is desired.
Roxy also features bidirectional
polar pattern (also called
9
figure-eight). In this setup, the
capsule is most sensitive in the
front and back of the microphone,
while picking up less sound from
the sides. This setup is good when
two people are using the same
mic, or when you want to pick up
more room sound.
button operation
The top button switches the polar pattern of the mic between cardioid and
bidirectional. The bottom button has two functions. A short-press will turn on
the Mute function, which mutes the incoming signal from the capsule (but
doesn't mute the headphones). A long-press will turn off the LED indicator. You
can still mute and unmute the mic with a short press while the LED is off.
Long-press the mute button again to turn the led back on.
