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).
