Operating Instructions
The EM-01 microphone is designed for ease of use. Once connected and recognized by your device, it functions as a standard audio input device. For optimal performance, ensure the microphone is positioned appropriately for the sound source. Its omnidirectional design captures sound from all directions, making it suitable for group discussions, room acoustic measurements, or capturing ambient sound. Adjust input levels through your device's sound settings or recording software to prevent clipping and ensure clear audio.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Keep the microphone clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the microphone to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight, as these can damage internal components.
- Storage: Store the microphone in a dry, safe place when not in use, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case.
- Handling: Do not drop the microphone or subject it to strong impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble the microphone, as this will void the warranty.
- Windscreen Care: The foam windscreen can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely before reattaching.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone not detected | Incorrect connection Driver issue Incompatible device | Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the microphone and your device. Try a different USB port. For Windows/Mac, check device manager/system preferences to ensure the microphone is recognized. No specific drivers are usually needed for plug-and-play. Verify your device (OS, model) is compatible with USB Type-C audio input. |
| Low audio level | Input gain too low Microphone too far from source | Adjust the input gain/volume level in your computer's sound settings or recording software. Position the microphone closer to the sound source. |
| Distorted audio | Input gain too high High sound pressure level | Reduce the input gain/volume level in your computer's sound settings or recording software. While the microphone tolerates up to 130dBSPL, extremely loud sources might still cause distortion if gain is too high. Adjust distance or gain. |
| Background noise | Environmental noise Cable interference | Ensure recording environment is quiet. The microphone suppresses noise, but cannot eliminate all. Ensure the cable is not near sources of electromagnetic interference. |
| Inaccurate measurements (for acoustic analysis) | Faulty microphone (rare) Software misconfiguration | If using for acoustic measurements, ensure proper calibration file is loaded in your software (e.g., REW). If issues persist, contact support. Verify settings in your measurement software (e.g., REW) are correct for an omnidirectional microphone. |
