4.1 Plug and Play Operation
The MAONO AU-PM360TR is a plug-and-play device. No additional driver software or external power supply is required. Once connected to your computer (Windows or Mac) or compatible device, it should be automatically recognized and ready for use.
4.2 Selecting the Microphone Input
After connecting, you may need to select the MAONO AU-PM360TR as your default audio input device in your operating system's sound settings or within your recording software. Refer to your device's or software's documentation for specific instructions on selecting an audio input.
4.3 Optimal Placement and Cardioid Pattern
The microphone features a cardioid (unidirectional) pickup pattern. This means it is most sensitive to sounds coming from directly in front of it and less sensitive to sounds from the sides and rear. For best results:
- Position the microphone directly in front of the sound source (e.g., your mouth).
- Maintain a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) from the microphone for optimal pickup.
- Ensure the 'maono' logo faces the sound source.
