Posizionamento del microfono

Utilize the flexible gooseneck to position the microphone capsule approximately 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from the corner of your mouth. This optimal distance helps capture clear vocals while minimizing breath noises and plosives. Adjust the gooseneck as needed to maintain consistent distance during performance.

Using the Windscreens

Attach one of the included snap-fit windscreens to the microphone capsule. The windscreen helps to reduce unwanted breath sounds, plosives (harsh 'p' and 'b' sounds), and wind noise, ensuring cleaner and more intelligible audio output.
