Návod k obsluze

Using the ZDM-1 Microphone

• Umístění mikrofonu: Position the ZDM-1 microphone approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from your mouth for optimal vocal capture. The supercardioid polar pattern is designed to pick up sound primarily from the front, minimizing off-axis noise. Experiment with distance to find the best sound for your voice and environment.
• Nastavení zesílení: Adjust the input gain on your audio interface or mixer. Start with the gain low and gradually increase it while speaking into the microphone at your normal volume. Aim for a strong signal level without clipping (distortion). Most digital audio workstations (DAWs) or interfaces have meters to help you monitor this.
• Using the Windscreen: Keep the custom windscreen on the microphone to effectively reduce plosives and breath sounds, especially when speaking close to the microphone.

Using the ZHP-1 Headphones

• Sledování zvuku: The ZHP-1 headphones provide accurate and neutral sound reproduction for monitoring your recordings. Adjust the headphone volume on your audio interface or mixer to a comfortable listening level.
• Pohodlí a fit: The ZHP-1 features a self-adjusting headband and rotatable earcups for a comfortable fit during extended sessions. The closed-back design helps isolate sound, preventing leakage into your microphone.

Údržba

• Čištění mikrofonu: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the body of the ZDM-1 microphone. For the grille, a soft brush can be used to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the microphone.
• Čištění sluchátek: Wipe the earcups and headband of the ZHP-1 headphones with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid getting moisture into the speaker drivers. The leatherette earpads are replaceable if they become worn.
• Péče o čelní sklo: The foam windscreen can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then allowed to air dry completely before reattaching to the microphone.
• Skladování: When not in use, store the ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Pack components in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Disconnecting cables and storing them neatly can prolong their lifespan.
