Usage recommendations

Place the microphone 10–30 cm from the sound source for clear vocals, speak slightly off-axis to reduce plosives, and enable the built-in pop filter and zero-latency monitoring when tracking. For best results, use in a quiet room or apply basic acoustic treatment to reduce reflections.
