Microphone Placement and Usage

The Radium 300 XLR is a cardioid condenser microphone, meaning it primarily picks up sound from the front, while rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. This characteristic is ideal for vocal recordings, streaming, and podcasting to minimize ambient noise.

• Ogologo kacha mma: Position the microphone 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the sound source (e.g., your mouth) for clear audio.
• Pop Filter Function: The pop filter helps to reduce plosive sounds (like 'p' and 'b') and protects the microphone from moisture. Ensure it is correctly positioned between you and the microphone.
• Ugwu mgbochi Shock: The anti-shock basket minimizes vibrations transmitted through the desk or arm, ensuring cleaner recordings.
• Signal Splitter: The microphone features a signal splitter, allowing simultaneous connection of headphones via a minijack for monitoring audio.

Software Configuration (PC/Laptop)

After connecting the microphone, you may need to select it as the default recording device in your operating system's sound settings and any recording software you use.

1. Windows: Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar, select "Sound settings," then navigate to the "Recording" tab. Select "Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio)" or similar, set it as default, and adjust levels.
2. MacOS: Go to "System Preferences" > "Sound" > "Input." Select the connected microphone and adjust the input volume.
3. Ngwanrọ ndekọ: Within your recording application (e.g., OBS Studio, Audacity, Discord), ensure the Genesis Radium 300 is selected as the audio input device.
