Hearing Static or Buzzing Noise While Speaking?

• Avoid interference: Keep phones, routers, and RGB lights away from the interface and microphone (dynamic mics are sensitive to magnetic fields);

• Check cables: Replace the XLR cable for testing;

• Adjust gain: Set the Gain knob around the 2–3 o’clock position, not at maximum;

• Laptop users: Unplug the power adapter and test using battery power.

---

Why Is the Audio Distorted?

When the Gain indicator turns red, clipping (signal overload) occurs.

✅ Solution:
Lower the Gain so the indicator only flashes yellow at the loudest level.

When singing high notes, keep a greater distance from the microphone.

---

Hearing Echo or Delay in Headphones?

This happens when software monitoring and hardware monitoring are both enabled.

• ✅ Hardware monitoring: Direct Monitor provides zero latency;

• ❌ Software monitoring: Monitoring in Cubase/Audition introduces latency and is only recommended when you need to hear plugin effects in real time.

Solution: Disable monitoring in your recording software and use Direct Monitor only.

---

Recording Waveform Is Too Small?

• Increase gain: Dynamic microphones usually require 70%–80% Gain;

• Get closer: Keep the mic within 10 cm for proper pickup.
