How to use

Attach the microphone to your device using the USB-C connector and place it so the front of the microphone faces the speaker. For best results, position the microphone a short distance from the mouth (typically 10–30 cm) to capture clear voice levels while minimizing breath noise. Select the external USB audio input in your recording or communication app if necessary; many modern devices will switch automatically to the BY-V10 when connected. Monitor levels in the app and adjust distance or device input volume to avoid clipping.

Usage recommendations

Use the cardioid pickup by keeping the microphone pointed at the sound source and avoid placing reflective surfaces directly behind it to reduce room reflections. When recording in noisy environments, move closer to the microphone, reduce background noise where possible, and monitor audio through headphones to confirm clarity.
