Recording tips
Spoken Word (Conferencing, Podcasting, Voiceovers, Chatting)
Set your ZAFFIRO USB Microphone on a flat surface approximately 8-12” away
from you (you may need to experiment a little to find the perfect spot depending
on the room you’re in). Speak directly towards the front of the mic. If possible,
eliminate all room noises, cell phone ringtones, the annoying chihuahua barking
next door, etc. For podcasting or voiceovers, speak clearly and try and avoid long
gaps between words (you might want to write out a script or practice a few times
before recording).
Music (Vocals & Instruments)
For vocals, the closer you place the mic, the bigger your sound. Experiment with
positioning for your ideal sound. Tilt the microphone slightly upward for more
projection or straight on for maximum brightness and intelligibility. Position the mic
facing slightly down (towards your chest) for more robust lows and smoother highs.
For Acoustic Guitar, place the microphone facing the neck where it joins the body
for a well-balanced,sparkling high-end sound. For lower frequencies, move the mic
closer to the soundhole. On Electric Guitar,position the ZAFFIRO USB Microphone
toward the center of your guitar amp for more highs, or towards the edge of the
cabinet speaker for a fuller sound with more low end.The microphone can also be
used with drums, percussion, wind instruments or strings. Try a variety of
positionsto find your ideal sound. Trust your ears — if it sounds good it is good!
