Troubleshooting

No sound output

Ensure the microphone is securely connected to your audio interface/device. Check that the correct input is selected on your interface and that your recording software is configured to use it. Verify that the headphone jack is not muted and that the volume is turned up.

Excessive background noise

Confirm the cardioid polar pattern is oriented towards the sound source and away from noise sources. Ensure the microphone is not picking up vibrations from the desk or stand. Check for any unwanted air currents directed at the microphone.

Low signal level

Increase the gain on your audio interface or mixer. Ensure the microphone is functioning correctly by testing it with a different preamp or interface if possible.

Crackling or distorted audio

Reduce the input gain on your audio interface. Ensure the microphone is not placed too close to extremely loud sound sources that exceed its SPL handling (130 dB SPL). Check the integrity of your connection cables.
