Navigate to your computer's sound settings or the audio input settings within your recording/streaming software (e.g., OBS, Audacity, GarageBand) and select the Pyle PDT100 as your primary audio input device.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

To achieve optimal audio quality with your Pyle PDT100 microphone:

• Posizionamento del microfono: Position the microphone directly in front of the sound source (e.g., your mouth) at a distance of 6-12 inches for clear vocal pickup. The cardioid pickup pattern is designed to capture sound primarily from the front, reducing unwanted background noise from the sides and rear.
• Utilizzo del filtro anti-pop: Ensure the pop filter is correctly positioned between you and the microphone. This will effectively reduce harsh 'p' and 'b' sounds, known as plosives, which can distort recordings.
• Impostazioni di guadagno: Adjust the input gain (microphone volume) in your computer's sound settings or recording software. Start with a moderate gain level and increase it gradually until your audio is clear and strong without peaking or distortion.
• Monitoraggio: If your software allows, use headphones to monitor your audio in real-time. This helps you identify and correct any issues with volume or clarity during recording or streaming.
