  6. Attach Pop Filter and Windscreen: Position the pop filter in front of the microphone to reduce plosive sounds (P, B, T, K sounds). For additional wind noise reduction, place the foam windscreen over the microphone capsule.

Istruzioni per l'uso

The MAONO AU-PM320S is designed for ease of use while delivering professional audio quality.

Posizionamento del microfono:

  • The microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern, meaning it is most sensitive to sounds coming from the front and less sensitive to sounds from the sides and rear. This helps to reduce background noise.
  • For optimal vocal recording, speak directly into the front of the microphone (where the MAONO logo is located) at a distance of 6-12 inches.
  • Utilize the adjustable boom arm to position the microphone comfortably and effectively for your recording needs.
