4.1 Постављање микрофона

The MM500U features a cardioid polar pattern, which means it primarily picks up sound from the front, minimizing noise from the sides and rear. For best results, position the microphone directly in front of the sound source, typically 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) away. Experiment with distance to find the optimal sound for your environment.

4.2 Headphone Monitoring

The MM500U includes a built-in headphone output (3.5mm jack) and a dedicated volume control knob. This allows for direct, latency-free monitoring of your audio. Connect your headphones to the jack on the microphone. Use the volume knob to adjust the headphone level to a comfortable listening volume.

4.3 Monitoring Mode Switch

On the rear of the microphone, you will find a switch labeled "PLAYBACK | MONITOR".

• MONITOR Mode: In this mode, you will hear your microphone's input directly through your headphones in real-time, without any delay. This is ideal for monitoring your voice or instrument during recording or streaming.
• PLAYBACK Mode: In this mode, you will hear the audio output from your computer (e.g., instrumental tracks, system sounds) through your headphones. This is useful for listening to backing tracks while performing or for general computer audio playback.

Select the appropriate mode based on your current activity.
