3. Setup

3.1. Boom Arm Assembly

1. Attach the C-clamp to the edge of your desk. Ensure it is securely tightened.
2. Insert the boom arm into the C-clamp. Adjust the arm's position and tighten the knob to secure it.
3. Attach the microphone to the boom arm using the 3/8" to 5/8" screw adapter if necessary.

3.2. Microphone Assembly

1. Gently place the condenser microphone into the shock mount.
2. Attach the pop filter to the microphone or boom arm, positioning it between your mouth and the microphone capsule to reduce plosive sounds.

3.3. Connectivity

Connect the provided 8.2ft USB-A to USB-A/C cable from the microphone's USB-C port to an available USB-A or USB-C port on your computer (Windows/Mac) or gaming console (PS4/PS5). The microphone is plug-and-play, requiring no additional drivers.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Power On/Off

The microphone powers on automatically when connected to a compatible device via USB. Disconnect the USB cable to power it off.

4.2. Mute Function

Tap the mute button located on the microphone to instantly mute or unmute your audio. An indicator light will show the microphone's status (e.g., green for active, red for muted).

4.3. Gain Control

Adjust the microphone's input sensitivity using the gain knob. Turn clockwise to increase gain and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Adjust to an appropriate level to prevent audio clipping or distortion.

4.4. RGB Lighting Control

Press the RGB button to cycle through various lighting modes and colors, allowing you to customize the microphone's aesthetic to match your setup or mood.

4.5. Real-time Monitoring

Plug your headphones into the 3.5mm headphone jack on the microphone for real-time audio monitoring. This allows you to hear your voice as it's being captured, ensuring optimal sound quality and preventing issues like clipping or low volume.

4.6. Microphone Placement

For the clearest audio, position the microphone approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from your mouth. Ensure the front of the microphone (where the RGB lighting is most prominent) is facing you. This helps to capture your voice directly and minimize background noise. The pop filter should be positioned between your mouth and the microphone to reduce harsh 'p' and 'b' sounds (plosives).

5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning

To clean the microphone, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these may damage the finish or internal components. Periodically clean the pop filter by gently rinsing it with water and allowing it to air dry completely before reattaching.

5.2. Storage

When not in use, store the microphone in a dry, dust-free environment. If using the boom arm, ensure it is folded and secured to prevent accidental damage. Avoid exposing the microphone to extreme temperatures or humidity.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. No Sound Output

• Check Connections: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the microphone and your device.
• Verify Mute Status: Confirm the microphone is not muted (check the indicator light).
• Adjust Gain: Increase the gain using the knob on the microphone.
• Device Settings: Check your computer's or console's audio input settings to ensure the FIFINE AmpliGame A8T is selected as the default input device.

6.2. Distorted or Unclear Audio

• Adjust Gain: If audio is distorted, decrease the gain. If it's unclear or too quiet, increase the gain.
• Microphone Placement: Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly (6-12 inches from your mouth) and the pop filter is in place.
• Room Acoustics: Minimize background noise and echoes in your recording environment.

6.3. Compatibility Issues

The FIFINE AmpliGame A8T is compatible with Windows, Mac, PS4, and PS5. It is not compatible with Xbox. Ensure your device's operating system is up to date.
