  The best mode depends on the situation and your personal preference. In general we advise the following: Cardioid. Press the top button 1x, 1 indicator will be lit. This is the preferred mode if you are sitting directly in front of the microphone, e.g. for gaming or live streaming. Bi-directional. Press the top button 2x, 2 indicators will be lit (top and bottom). This is the preferred mode if you are talking with another person, each on an opposite side of the microphone. Stereo. Press the top button 3x, 2 indicators will be lit (left and right). This is the preferred mode if you are playing an instrument, e.g. your guitar, in front of the microphone. Omni-directional. Press the top button 4x, all 4 indicators will be lit. This is the preferred mode if you are with a group of peope, located on all sides of the microphone.

• What is the pick-up pattern of a microphone?

  The pick-up pattern of a microphone is the sensitivity to sound relative to the direction or angle from which the sound arrives, or how well the microphone picks up the sound from different directions. The most common types are: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Unidirectional, Bidirectional. CARDIOID The most commonly used pattern is most sensitive at 0° (the front) and least sensitive at 180° (the back). This isolates it from unwanted ambient sound. You can use this for most recording applications. It is easy to get a good signal as the cardioid pattern blends out a bad sounding room, a noisy fan in the background, etc. OMNIDIRECTIONAL The omnidirectional microphone has equal sensitivity at all angles. This means it picks up sound evenly from all directions. Therefore, the microphone need not be aimed in a certain direction. It will be especially useful in good sounding rooms. UNIDIRECTIONAL Unidirectional microphones are most sensitive to sound arriving from directly in front (at 0°) and less sensitive in other directions. This makes unidirectional microphones effective at isolating the desired sound from both unwanted sound and ambient noise. BIDIRECTIONAL A bidirectional microphone (with figure-8 pattern) picks up the sound from in front of the microphone (at 0°) and from the rear (at 180°), but not the side (at 90° and 270°). It can be beneficial in situations where you do not want a signal coming from a 90° angle to bleed into the microphone.

• What is the sample rate?

  The sample rate of this microphone is as follows: - 96Khz for the 'playback' sound - 48Khz for the 'recording' sound. So if you connect your headset to the microphone, you can listen with 96Khz sample rate. But if you record, you record with max. 48Khz.
