Using the product

Microphone orientation

To use the product, face towards the side that has the Audio-Technica logo while speaking.

Using software for recording

Software for recording is not included with the product. To use the product to record audio, use commercially 
available recording software. You may need to set up the recording software, such as by setting the audio input 
and output. For details, see the User Manual for the recording software.

Adjusting the microphone level

To get the best performance, you need to appropriately adjust the microphone level of the product. When 
using the product, set the microphone level of the product as high as possible, in a range that does not put 
an excessive load on the computer. If the sound is distorted, or the recording software you are using is always 
at peak levels, then decrease the microphone level of the product in the settings on the control panel (system 
preferences for Mac OS) or the settings for the recording software you are using.

If you feel that the product's microphone level is insufficient, then increase the microphone level of the product 
in the settings on the control panel (system preferences for Mac OS) or the settings for the recording software 
you are using. After that, you do not need to adjust the microphone level of the product, unless the volume of 
the sound source varies greatly.
