Nota importante:

This condenser microphone requires 48V phantom power to operate correctly. If your device (computer, sound card, or mixer) does not provide phantom power, an external phantom power supply (not included) is necessary.

Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Once the microphone kit is assembled and connected, follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

  • Colocación del micrófono: Position the microphone approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the sound source. The cardioid pickup pattern is most sensitive to sounds directly in front of the microphone.
  • Uso del filtro pop: Ensure the pop filter is positioned between your mouth and the microphone. This helps to reduce plosive sounds (like 'p' and 'b') and protects the microphone from moisture.
  • Ajuste de ganancia: Adjust the input gain on your sound card, audio mixer, or computer settings to achieve an appropriate recording level. Avoid setting the gain too high, which can lead to distortion, or too low, which can result in a weak signal.
  • Escucha: Use headphones connected to your audio interface or computer to monitor your sound in real-time and make necessary adjustments.
  • Configuraciones de software: Configure your recording software or communication application to select the TONOR microphone as the input device.
