3.Or, you can select “Nady USB Microphone” as your input device in your Sound options under System Preferences. The microphone LED will blink when it is communicating properly with your software.
Depending on the application, the mic can either be handheld or mounted on any microphone stand or desktop stand with the supplied basemount. Be aware of the proximity effect (an increase in bass response) when the mic is placed close to the mouth or instrument. This may or may not be desirable. Experimenting with the position of the mic with respect to the audio source will ensure the optimum results you are seeking in any given application. You may experience a delay in hearing your audio input to the mic if monitoring in real time. Such a slight delay is called “latency” and is common for many types of software used with this unit. If real time coincidence of the input and amplified signal heard though the computer monitors is required then special software may be necessary.

PRECAUTIONS AND CARE
•The microphone should never be dropped or subjected to extreme shock. Store only in a padded case to protect it during transport.
•Keep the microphone away from extremely high temperatures (above 140°F or 60°C )and humidity. Avoid leaving the microphone in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
•When using the microphone outdoors, avoid getting it wet.
•To protect the mic cartridge and ensure the longest possible useful life, it is highly recommended that for vocal applications, an external foam windscreen be used over the ball grille. This will prevent the buildup of saliva and perspiration on the cartridge diaphragm, which degrades performance and shortens the useful life of the microphone. Such a wind “sock” will also eliminate wind noise when the mic is used in a windy outdoor environment.
