Operating the Microphone

• Gain Control: The gain knob on the microphone allows you to adjust the input sensitivity.

  Adjust the gain to achieve a clear signal without clipping or excessive background noise.
• Mute Button: Press the mute button to instantly silence the microphone.
  • A green LED indicates the microphone is active (Working Mode).
  • A red LED indicates the microphone is muted (Mute Mode).
• Headphone Monitoring: Plug your headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the back of the microphone to monitor your audio in real-time. This allows you to hear your voice as it's being recorded or transmitted, aiding in sound adjustment.
