Using PM461 Gen2 USB Microphone with Mobile Phone

How to connect and use a USB microphone with a mobile phone

Obvious Noise When Using PM461 Gen2 Microphone

  1. To record high-quality sound, a good recording environment is required. Minimize ambient noise interference to capture purer human voices.Daily environments usually have some ambient noise. For indoor recording, close doors and windows to maximize shielding from external noise. Use curtains if possible. Turn off electrical appliances with low-frequency noise such as air conditioners and fans during recording.
  2. All electrical devices generate circuit noise. This includes computer circuit boards, microphone amplifiers, and converters used when connecting to mobile phones. Circuit noise can only be minimized, not eliminated.
  3. If you are not satisfied with the sound quality, use post-audio processing software such as Audition or Audacity to process the sound.

PM461 Gen2 Microphone Still Rotates and Cannot Be Fixed After Installing on Shock Mount

The microphone was not aligned with the shock mount's threads during installation and was screwed crookedly, preventing it from being tightened. Unscrew the microphone, align it with the shock mount's threads, and reinstall it.

Echo When Testing PM461 Gen2 Microphone with Computer

The PM461 Gen2 microphone has a monitoring jack. Usually, connecting monitoring headphones to the microphone's monitoring jack allows you to monitor the microphone's input and the computer's playback sound.
If echo is heard, it may be due to picking up duplicate sounds. This occurs when software monitoring is enabled or live streaming software with internal playback function is used, causing internal playback. Echo forms when the microphone's input overlaps with the software's internal playback monitoring.
Disable the software's function to monitor your own voice to resolve the issue.

Clipping/Distortion When Using PM461 Gen2 Microphone

If the sound is too loud, turn down the microphone's gain knob and avoid placing your mouth too close to the microphone.

Delay When Live Streaming with PM461 Gen2 Microphone

  1. Delay is usually caused by streaming platform pushing issues, which are related to the network and not the microphone.
  2. For delays heard during software recording, use the computer's built-in recorder to avoid interference from third-party applications.

Static Noise When Using PM461 Gen2 Microphone

  1. To record high-quality sound, a good recording environment is required. Minimize ambient noise interference to capture purer human voices.Daily environments usually have some ambient noise. For indoor recording, close doors and windows to maximize shielding from external noise. Use curtains if possible. Turn off electrical appliances with low-frequency noise such as air conditioners and fans during recording.
  2. Avoid conflicts with third-party applications. Use the default camera/built-in recorder for recording.
