Microphone Orientation
The microphones are designed to pick up sound from the front/logo side, and reject sound from the back. (Called a “Cardioid Pattern”)
Power
Ensure the two 48V Power Button/Lights are turned on, especially if no audio is being picked up. There are two of these “48V” buttons, each pair of mic inputs share one button.
Volume
Each indicator should show green while picking up audio. If there is no colour, it may be too quiet, and if it is red the sound will be too loud and distorted.
Note: As of 2022-05-25, the two smaller mics don’t always make the green circle appear, but sound is working okay.
Turn up or down each mic volume GAIN dial as needed.
Muting
Each microphone can be muted inidividually by turning down the respective GAIN dial all the way.
