The microphone is powered by your device’s USB port, meaning that in
most instances you can just plug the microphone in and get started right
away. For non-standard USB ports, a powered USB hub may be required.
An ideal starting point for the reference is to place microphone directly
in front of the lead singer 15 cm (6") distance. Moving the vocalist a little
closer will make the vocal sound more intimate and full, while moving
the vocalist back will give the vocal a little more ‘air’ or room sound,
and will reduce the proximity effect (increased bass or low frequency
response when the sound source is very close).
Placement of the microphone and relative to the vocalist may be varied on
several factors including room acoustics, the vocal performance, and
whether the vocalist has a high or deep voice.
Experimentation should be made with the angle from which the
microphone is addressed, as different results can be achieved when the
vocalist is ‘off-axis’ to the microphone (and the gold dot).
