How to use

Connect the mini XLR connector to a compatible input or adapter and route the cable to your mixer, PA or recording interface. Position the microphone 10–20 cm from the vocalist or speaker for a clean, direct signal; adjust distance and angle to reduce plosives and control proximity effect. Use standard vocal processing—light EQ to shape midrange, a high‑pass filter to remove excessive low end, and gentle compression if needed—to achieve consistent levels for live or recorded output.

Usage recommendations

For best results in karaoke and vocal rehearsals, place the microphone on a stable stand when possible, keep the cable free from foot traffic, and perform a soundcheck to set gain levels. To maintain the microphone, avoid exposing it to moisture and store it in a protective case when not in use.
