Operating Instructions
- Microphone Positioning: Hold the microphone approximately 2-6 inches from your mouth for optimal vocal pickup. The cardioid pickup pattern is designed to capture sound primarily from the front, reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear.
- ON/OFF Switch: Use the convenient ON/OFF switch on the microphone body to quickly mute or unmute the microphone as needed during use. Ensure it is in the 'ON' position for sound transmission.
- Volume Adjustment: Adjust the input volume (gain) on your connected audio device to achieve the desired sound level without distortion. Start with a lower volume and gradually increase it.
- Feedback Prevention: To minimize audio feedback, avoid pointing the microphone directly at speakers and maintain a reasonable distance from them. The cardioid pattern helps in this regard by focusing on the sound source.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone body. For the mesh grille, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the microphone capsule. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the microphone in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect it from dust and physical impact when not in use.
- Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the audio cable. Coil the cable loosely when storing to prevent damage and extend its lifespan.
