How to use

Position the gooseneck so the capsule is aimed toward the sound source at a distance appropriate for the application — typically 5–20 cm for close vocal work or further for ambient capture. Connect the microphone to a suitable input on a mixer, audio interface, or preamp and set gain so the signal is strong without clipping. Use EQ and a gentle high-pass filter if needed to reduce low-frequency rumble. Adjust placement to control proximity effect and balance between direct sound and room ambience.

Usage recommendations

For best results in speech and vocal applications, place the microphone slightly off-axis to reduce plosive sounds and maintain a consistent distance while speaking or singing. Use a pop filter or foam windscreen in close vocal situations. When mounting on a desk or podium, ensure the stand or clamp is secure to avoid handling noise; when used on stage, verify cable routing to prevent accidental tugging.
