4. Mute Switch
The mute switch does just what
it sounds like it might do. It mutes
the mic signal! A red LED located
just inside the mic will illuminate
when engaged.
NOTE: The mute switch mutes only
the mic input. Any signal coming IN
from the computer will still be heard
through the headphones regardless
of the state of the mute switch.
5. Gain Knob
The gain knob adjusts the input
sensitivity of the microphone,
allowing signals from the outside
world to be adjusted at optimal
levels.
6. Pattern Knob
Polar patterns illustrate how
sensitive a microphone is to sound
received via different angles from
the central axis. Rotate the knob
to the desired polar pattern.
Stereo: Sound is picked up from
the left and right sides of the
microphone.
Applications – Field recordings,
filming, instruments.
Cardioid: The front of the
microphone is the most sensitive,
while sound from the surrounding
area remains isolated.
Applications – Podcasts,
voiceovers, vocals, instruments.
Bi-directional (figure 8): Sound
is picked up from the front and rear
of the microphone, but not the sides.
Applications – Interviews, vocal
duets, instruments.
Super-cardioid: Similar to cardioid,
but with a narrower pickup, isolating
the surrounding sound even more.
Additionally, there is some pickup
in the rear of the mic.
Applications – Close mic'ing
instruments, filming.
Omni-directional: Sound is picked
up equally from every direction,
not needing to be aimed directly
at the sound source.
Applications – Conference calls /
meetings, field recordings,
symphonies.
7. Standard Microphone Stand Mount
If you prefer to use the microphone
on a standard microphone stand,
carefully remove it from the included
desk stand and hand-tighten
to a standard thread count stand
mount until snug.
