Tips

For best results with the USB headsets:

  • Choose a quiet location to record.
  • If your computer has a noisy fan, move as far away from it as possible.
  • Ensure you are getting good levels in your recording software (averaging between -6 and -3 dB)
  • Speak in a loud, clear voice
  • Move the microphone slightly above or below the mouth to help avoid excessive breath noises and loud “p” and “b” sounds (also known as plosives.)
  • Always make a test recording and listen back to it before you begin.
