- Aġġustament tas-Sensittività:
- The MKE 400 features a switchable sensitivity setting for long and short distances.
- Use the volume control switch (labeled "+ Vol -" or similar, refer to Figure 3) to adjust the microphone's input level.
- For louder sound sources or closer proximity, select a lower sensitivity setting. For quieter sources or greater distance, select a higher sensitivity setting.
- Using the Wind Noise Filter:
- The microphone includes a switchable wind noise filter to reduce unwanted ambient noise, especially in outdoor environments.
- Locate the wind noise filter switch (often labeled with a wind icon, refer to Figure 3) and activate it when needed.
- For optimal wind noise reduction, attach the included foam windshield (refer to Figure 1).
