4.1 Polære mønstre
The DuoCast offers two selectable polar patterns: Cardioid and Omnidirectional. Switch between these patterns using the button located on the microphone.
- Kardioide: Ideal for single-person recording, such as streaming, podcasts, and voiceovers. It captures sound primarily from the front, reducing background noise.
- Omnidirektionel: Suitable for multi-person recordings, conference calls, or capturing ambient sounds, as it picks up sound equally from all directions.

4.2 Tap-to-Mute Sensor
The microphone features a convenient tap-to-mute sensor on the top. Tapping the top of the microphone will instantly mute or unmute your audio. The RGB light ring will change color to indicate the mute status.
