• Buton mut: Press to instantly mute or unmute the microphone.
• Butonul pentru eco: Rotate this knob to adjust the amount of echo effect applied to your voice. Turn clockwise to increase echo, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• Buton de volum: This controls the headphone output volume. Rotate clockwise to increase the monitoring volume in your headphones, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• Ieșire pentru căști de 3.5 mm: Connect your headphones here for real-time, zero-latency monitoring of your audio.

3.2 Monitorizare în timp real

The built-in 3.5mm headphone output allows for direct, latency-free monitoring of your voice. This feature enables you to hear exactly what the microphone is capturing, facilitating precise level adjustments and performance monitoring. Adjust the headphone volume using the dedicated knob on the microphone.

3.3 Diagramă polară cardioidă

The EM-200N utilizes a cardioid polar pattern. This design primarily picks up sound from the front of the microphone, while significantly reducing sound capture from the sides and rear. This helps to isolate the desired sound source, minimize background noise, and achieve clearer recordings. Position the microphone with the front (where the controls are located) facing the sound source.
