Usage

Optimal Microphone Placement:

For best results, position the microphone directly in front of you, at an optimal distance. Avoid placing it too far away or at an awkward angle.

• Talk works with almost all recording software installed on macOS, Windows, or Linux. Review your software's settings and adjust accordingly.
• No additional drivers or software are needed for Talk. Just plug it in and set it up in your device settings.
• Talk will not function via a power bank/battery pack. It will only function with a USB-A input with an operating system.
