4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Microphone Controls

The AM8PROT features a multifunctional dial and a tap-to-mute button for easy audio management:

• Multifunctional Dial: This 3-in-1 knob controls microphone gain, headphone volume, and the mix balance between your vocal input and PC audio. Tap the dial to cycle through these settings, then rotate to adjust the level.
• Tap-to-Mute: A visible LED panel indicates the mute status. Tap the mute area on the microphone to instantly mute or unmute your audio. This prevents unwanted sounds during live broadcasts or recordings.

5. Maintenance

• Keep the microphone and boom arm clean by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of the kit.
• Ensure cables are not kinked or strained to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Sound Output:
  • Check all cable connections (USB or XLR) to ensure they are secure.
  • Verify that the microphone is selected as the default input device in your computer's sound settings or streaming software.
  • Ensure the microphone is not muted (check the LED indicator).
  • Adjust the microphone gain using the multifunctional dial.
• Poor Sound Quality / Background Noise:
  • Ensure the foam windscreen is properly installed.
  • Position the microphone closer to your mouth (within 6-12 inches) and speak directly into the front of the capsule.
  • Reduce background noise in your environment. The cardioid pattern helps, but a quiet space is ideal.
  • Adjust the gain level to avoid clipping (distortion) or being too quiet.
• RGB Lights Not Working:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected, as it powers the RGB lighting.
  • Press the RGB control buttons on the microphone and boom arm to cycle through modes or turn them on.
