Operating and powering the Podcaster
The Podcaster is powered through the USB port and eliminates
any need for an extra external power source.
When the Podcaster is first connected to the computers USB
port, you will notice that the light on the Podcaster will turn red
for a fraction of a second and then it will turn to green and it
should stay green until you disconnect your Podcaster. The green
indicates that the Podcaster is powered and active and ready to
be used for your recording purposes.
Talking into your Podcaster
The Podcaster is an end address microphone. This simply means
that to get the clearest sound, you must talk directly into
the front of the microphone. When you are talking into the
microphone you should be able to clearly see the green status
LED. (Refer figure 7).
The capsule in the microphone has what is classed as a ‘cardioid’
pickup or polar pattern. This means that it will predominately
pick up the sound in front of the capsule, however if the sound
source was coming from the side, it would also pick up that
sound, but the sound would be faint and ‘washed out’ compared
to the sound coming in directly from the front of the microphone.
