5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

5.1 Microphone Placement for Optimal Sound

The PD100 is a cardioid dynamic microphone designed for "end address" pickup. For the best sound quality and to utilize its noise isolation technology effectively:

• Position the top of the microphone directly towards the sound source (e.g., your mouth).
• Maintain a distance of approximately 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) from the microphone. This range helps capture your voice with depth and clarity while minimizing ambient noise.
• Avoid speaking into the sides or back of the microphone, as this will result in reduced volume and clarity due to the cardioid pattern.
