6. Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the microphone body. Slide it to "ON" to activate the microphone and "OFF" to power it down.
2. Positioning: For best sound quality, position the microphone directly in front of the sound source. The pop filter should be between your mouth and the microphone to reduce plosive sounds (P, B, T).
3. Software Settings: After connecting, open your recording software, communication application, or system sound settings. Select the XIAOKOA M30 (or "USB Audio Device" if using the adapter) as your primary audio input device.
4. Input Level Adjustment: Adjust the input gain or volume level in your software or operating system to prevent clipping (distortion) and ensure a strong signal.
5. Monitoring: If using the Y-splitter or a USB sound adapter with a headphone jack, connect headphones to monitor your audio in real-time.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the microphone body. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Pop Filter: The pop filter can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
• Storage: When not in use, store the microphone and its accessories in a clean, dry place, away from dust and extreme temperatures.
