Using the Audix USB12 is a breeze. First, connect the microphone to your computer via the provided USB cable. It's a plug - and - play device, so it should work right away on both Mac and PC. If you want to monitor your recording in real - time, plug your headphones into the headphone jack. The push - to - talk button gives you two options: steady on or momentary on. You can use it to start and stop recording easily. For best results, place the microphone close to the sound source, but not too close to avoid distortion. When it comes to maintenance, keep the microphone clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry place. Also, remember to check the USB cable regularly for any signs of damage. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your Audix USB12 microphone.
