9. Поради користувача

  • Experiment with Gain: Always test different gain settings in your recording environment to find the optimal level that captures clear audio without distortion.
  • Контролюйте свій звук: Utilize the real-time monitoring feature to catch any issues with sound quality or levels during recording, rather than discovering them in post-production.
  • App for Fine-Tuning: Make full use of the BOYA Central app for precise control over noise cancellation, EQ, and gain, tailoring the microphone's performance to your specific needs.
  • Positioning is Key: For best results with the supercardioid pattern, ensure the microphone is pointed directly at your sound source to maximize pickup and minimize off-axis noise.
