The directionality is set in two directions. Since only the sounds from two directions can be recorded, you can block sounds or speeches made by other speakers.
You can set the directionality from the following patterns. For details, check Change the directionality.
Change the directionality
You can turn ON or OFF the switch in the back of the microphone to change the directionality.
| ON | OFF | |
|---|---|---|
|
Direction (Switch #1) |
180 degree | 270 degree |
|
Range (Switch #2) |
Narrow | Broad |
NOTE
- For other switches besides #1 and #2, please turn them ON.
Recommended location to set the microphone
Regardless of how the directionality is set, make sure the MiiTel user is located on the left side of the microphone's USB cable jack. This placement will allow the MiiTel user to be easily recognized for the speech recognition results.
