POLAR PATTERN SELECTION CARDIOID (FRONT LED) BIDIRECTIONAL STEREO OMNIDIRECTIONAL CARDIOID MODE: is perfect for recording sounds directly in front of the microphone. This is the most used polar pattern. It is the most beneficial and best pattern for streaming and gaming. BIDIRECTIONAL MODE: records sound from the front and rear of the microphone. It's typically used for interviews but can be used by anyone sitting on opposite sides of the mic. STEREO MODE: uses both left and right channels to capture a realistic general sound image. It's great for recording musical instruments or acoustics. OMNIDIRECTIONAL MODE: picks up sound equally from all directions. This mode is best for multi-person broadcasts so you can capture sound from around the room. www.PyleUSA.com 5 SELECTING SOFTWARE You have many choices in recording software. Select the program that will best suit your audio needs and budget. SETTING YOUR SOFTWARE LEVELS The correct adjustment of microphone level is Important for optimum performance. Ideally, the microphone level should be as high as possible without overloading the input of your computer. If you hear distortion or if your recording program shows levels that are consistently overloaded (at peak levels), turn the microphone volume or level) down. Do this using the control panel (or system preferences) settings or through your recording software. If your recording program shows insufficient level, you can increase the microphone gain either from the control panel (or system preferences) settings or through your recording program. POSITIONING YOUR MICROPHONE It is important to position the microphone directly in line (on axis) with the person speaking/singing or instrument (or other sound source) to achieve the best frequency response of the microphone. This requires the user to speak into the microphone from the Stadium symbol side positioned towards the mouth. The distance from the mouth should be about 1 inch. or 10 - 40mm for optimal recording. For use in speaking/singing applications, the ideal placement for the microphone is directly in front of the person speaking/singing. The same placement is optimal when you mic an instrument such as an acoustic guitar, drums or piano. Experiment with different mic placements to find the best sound for your particular setup based on the Polar pattern selected. 6 www.PyleUSA.com FREQUENCY RESPONSE DIAGRAM www.PyleUSA.com 7 PRELIMINARY SETUP WITH MAC OS X 1.
