If the microphone is not working well, it is equal to buying it for nothing! 90% people have stepped on the misunderstanding of use and maintenance skills.

Many friends started with microphones, whether it's wireless-collar microphone, capacitive microphone or live microphone, they will encounter the same problem: obviously the equipment is fine, but the recorded sound is miscellaneous and boring, sometimes disconnected, and the sound quality becomes worse.
In fact, most of the sound quality rollover and equipment failure are not caused by microphone quality problems, but by incorrect usage habits and inadequate daily maintenance.
No matter how good the microphone is, if you don't know how to use and maintain it correctly, it will be noisy, jammed and radio failure after half a month. Today, this brand-new dry goods is specially designed for everyone to sort out common misunderstandings, usage skills, troubleshooting and daily maintenance of microphones, which are suitable for novices and veterans, and it is easy to use the equipment performance to the extreme.

First, the five most common misunderstandings in the use of microphones, have you been recruited?
Many people use the wrong way day after day, wasting good equipment in vain, and mistakenly think that the product quality is poor.
1. The microphone is too close/too far away from the mouth
This is the most common problem. When the microphone is close to the mouth, it will produce serious wheat spraying and air flow noise, and the speech explosion sound is very heavy; When the distance exceeds 30 cm, the human voice will become empty and smaller, and the environmental noise will be mixed in.
Correct distance: the distance between the mouth and the microphone is 15-20 cm, and the sound is clean and full, without wheat spraying and empty sound.
2. Long-term use against air conditioners, fans and window vents.
Whether wired or wireless, wheat is extremely sensitive to the wind. Many people turn on the fan air conditioner during live broadcast and recording, and the recorded sound is full of whistling wind, which can't be repaired at the later stage.
The correct way: avoid the tuyere when recording and broadcasting live, and wear windproof wool covers outdoors to prevent wind noise interference.
3. Plug and unplug the equipment at will and switch the equipment frequently when it is turned on.
Many people are used to plugging and unplugging the receiver, changing the interface and switching the phone on and off repeatedly after starting the phone, which is easy to cause current noise, chip damage and radio failure, which will shorten the service life of the microphone for a long time.
Correct sequence: plug in the equipment first, and then turn it on for use; Turn it off first after use, and then unplug the interface for storage.
4. Live broadcast/recording while charging
When the mobile phone or microphone is used while charging, it is easy to produce current sound and noise, which is caused by power supply current interference, not equipment failure, but also the root cause of 90% noise problems.
5. Random stacking, wire bending and rolling
Long-term bending, squeezing and close-fitting of wireless microphone receiver and wire will lead to poor line contact, unstable signal reception, intermittent, silent and radio jamming.

Second, the common failures of the microphone can be checked quickly, without blind repair.
Small problems encountered in daily use can basically be solved by themselves, without spending money on maintenance or mistaking equipment for damage.
1. The recording has a sizzling current sound.
High probability reasons: charging while using, mobile phone case blocking signals, poor interface contact, and interference from Bluetooth /WiFi devices around.
Solution: Unplug the charger, remove the heavy mobile phone case, turn off the redundant Bluetooth devices, and plug and unplug the receiver again.
2. The sound is loud and small, intermittent.
High probability reasons: the microphone is too far away from the receiver, there is a wall/metal shield in the middle, and the power is insufficient.
Solution: Keep the transceiver equipment in close proximity, avoid metal shielding, and charge it in time with low battery.
3. The voice is very small and the environmental noise is very loud.
High probability reasons: the microphone is placed at the wrong distance, the noise reduction is not turned on, there is no wind cover outdoors, and the environment is noisy.
Solution: Adjust the radio distance, turn on the equipment for intelligent noise reduction, wear a windbreaker outdoors, and try to choose a quiet environment for recording.
4. The boot is silent and the equipment is not recognized
High probability causes: wrong interface, unpaired equipment, and system permission not opened.
Solution: Check the recording permission, re-pair the device, change the phone interface and try again.

Three, the microphone daily maintenance skills, extend the service life without stepping on the pit.
Microphone belongs to precision radio electronic equipment, which can be used stably for several years with careful maintenance, and will be scrapped in just a few months without proper maintenance.
1. Moisture-proof and sweat-proof
Outdoor shooting, sweating in summer, sweat easily seeps into the microphone hole, leading to dull radio and corrosion of parts. Wipe the fuselage in time after use, and do not need to dry and store it for a long time. It is forbidden to get wet or get wet.
2. Clean the radio hole regularly.
Long-term use will accumulate dust and wool and block the radio hole, which will directly lead to poor sound quality and sound reduction. Regularly use a dry brush to gently clean the dust on the filter screen to keep the radio transparent.
3. Put an end to overcharging and storage due to power shortage.
Power off the wireless microphone when it is full, and don't charge it for a long time all night; If the battery is not used for a long time, it should be stored after it is fully charged. It is forbidden to place it at a loss of power to avoid battery aging and battery life shrinkage.
4. Dedicated storage to avoid bumping.
The microphone, receiver and wire are stored in the storage box to avoid falling, heavy pressure and bending the wire, and to protect the internal precision chips and circuits.

Fourth, the simplest use of formulas in different scenes is directly applied by novices.
Outdoor shooting: windproof priority, away from the tuyere, full of electricity.
Indoor live broadcast: avoid air conditioning fans, broadcast without charging, and the distance is moderate.
Recording K songs at home: Turn off redundant equipment to reduce noise and keep the environment quiet.
Daily storage: dry dust removal, power-off storage, moisture and pressure prevention.

A good microphone depends three points on quality and seven points on use and maintenance.
Many times, the poor sound quality and the equipment have problems, not because the products are not good, but because we used the wrong method and ignored the details. Mastering the correct way of use and daily maintenance can not only put an end to 99% glitches, but also make the equipment output high-definition sound quality for a long time, and greatly improve the texture of your live, short video and recorded works!
