• For best results, especially when recording speech, try to minimize background noise in your environment.
• Utilize the long 6-meter cable to position yourself at an optimal distance from your recording device while maintaining clear audio.
• Always perform a short test recording to ensure the microphone is functioning correctly and the audio levels are appropriate before a critical recording session.
