4. Betjeningsvejledning

Once connected, the BV44 is ready for use. Here are some guidelines for optimal performance:

• Mikrofonplacering: The BV44 features a Super Cardioid polar pattern, meaning it is most sensitive to sound coming from directly in front of it and rejects sound from the sides and rear. Position the front of the microphone (the side with the Behringer logo and indicator light) towards the sound source.
• Justering af inputniveauer: Adjust the input level (gain) through your computer's sound settings or your recording software to prevent clipping (distortion) and ensure a strong signal.
• Overvågning: While the BV44 does not feature a direct headphone monitoring output, you can monitor your audio through your computer's headphone jack or audio interface.

For best results, speak or sing directly into the front grille of the microphone, maintaining a consistent distance to avoid variations in volume.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Proper care will extend the life of your microphone:

• Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the microphone. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Opbevaring: Når mikrofonen ikke er i brug, skal den opbevares et rent, tørt sted, væk fra ekstreme temperaturer og fugtighed.
• Håndtering: Avoid dropping the microphone or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can damage the sensitive internal condenser capsule.
