Preset Modes
Three selectable modes adjust settings for gain, equalization, and dynamics to bring out the best sound characteristics for your recording needs.
Mode | Application | Characteristics |
---|---|---|
Voice | Use for speech or vocals in podcasting or musical applications | Equalization to emphasize clarity and fullness, and gentle compression to keep levels consistent. A de-esser reduces sibilance (the harsh sound that occurs when words with an 'S' are spoken). |
Instrument | Best for acoustic instruments and live music applications | Transparent compression to smooth out volume spikes and bring quiet passages forward. Equalization emphasizes detail and gives an overall natural sound. |
Flat | Suited for any application | A completely unprocessed signal (no equalization or compression settings used). Adds flexibility when processing the audio after recording. |
Advanced Mic Settings
After selecting the preset mode, fine-tune your sound with limiter, compressor, and equalizer settings. These settings are retained in the microphone when using other audio and video recording applications.
Limiter
Toggle the limiter on or off to prevent distortion from volume peaks in your recording.
Compressor
Choose no compression, or select light or heavy compression to control volume when your sound source is dynamic. Quiet signals are boosted and loud signals are lowered.
Equalizer
Change the preset modes to hear the DSP changes, and use the equalizer to boost or cut bands of frequencies to improve sound clarity.
Note: Equalization within presets will not be displayed. However, the EQ icon in the advanced settings status bar indicates user-selected equalization.
Equalization changes are displayed in the equalizer image.
